Well August 10th already. Summer continues to elude us around here. Had a high of 65 yesterday with lot's of grey matter overhead all day. Today is looking quite a bit warmer with sun still lacking. It would appear that I have contracted late blight in my field tomatoes. None in the greenhouses yet..... Potatos were topped last Friday. I could not stand to continue to gamble with all the disease that is out there. They appear to have sized up well so I am hoping for a pretty crop. Need to get into the fields and get after the weeds and prep beds for fall planting of spinach and salad. Started to seed out fall flats with brassicas and lettuce. Really struggling this year on a number of differant levels. Really need to get after the last greenhouse ditching project. Slicing tomatoes are coming in nicely. Cherry tomatos came on strong but have not been as prolific as I had hoped for. Managed to flip the garlic field and get it replanted with cabbage and broccoli for late October. Now to keep the deer out of it. Trying to focus on my two farmer's markets for the next 5 weeks. I will be in Barre on Wend. and at the Montpelier Market on Saturday's. List of product looks good as far as variety goes. Just hoping the volume holds up so that I am not just standing there smiling at my customers. Winter squash is trying hard to set some fruit and size up but the cool temps are really hampering things.
