Good Morning Folks, Well not a great day at the Barre Market but the weather was nice. Glad I have sandy soils with them forecasting 1-2 inches of rain tonight. Ouch. I was up in Montreal this past weekend at the Toulon Market. Met allot of neat vendors and ate allot of great and interesting food. One stall was nothing but wild crafted edibles. Really neat and interesting. Seems white perch are the new scourge in Lake Champlain. Kind of a pain in the rump invasive non-native species that likes to eat fish eggs. Need to do more research on them. Greenhouses continue to look great ( big thanks to Liva for all the nice work) and the tomatoes in particular. Hoping to see some cherry tomatoes by the end of this month. Peppers are already setting fruit, eggplant are lagging behind big time. Head lettuce and mesclun are close to done in the greenhouses, it is just to hot in there. Field vegetables are about two weeks behind schedule because of wind damage and the cold we have had. Normal temperatures are on tap starting today through next week. Really hoping things catch up. Today is a big push to dig one of the greenhouse ditches and get it finished. Killing me to keep looking at an empty 100 foot row in there at this time of the year. Asparagus are still a mystery at this point. Not real sure why production is so off. Another research project. Need to get paperwork done and get ready to buy a tractor this fall. Lot's of stuff to get done in the office, ugh. Kids are out of school next wend and start helping out part time around here. Well coffee is finished and I have to go get started with the business end of my shovel.
