Good Morning,
Posts have hit that summer time lull. Real busy on and off the farm with all types of fun projects. The farm looks the best it has ever looked thanks to my great help this year. Laura and Diane are really making the place look proper this year.
Cukes have started to come in as well as the Zukes. Garlic scapes have been picked and the basil is ready so I made some basil and herb green garlic pesto for market today.
Tomatoes are coming along and should be ready soon. Hopefully in about 2 weeks. Melons in the greenhouses have finally taken and look healthy. Could just use a bit more sun than we have been getting.
Watching for disease with all this rain and cool temps. Deer have started to come inside the fence a bit, need to stop that.
Snapping turtles are on the move as well as painted box turtles. In about 80 days I will be the adopted father of about baby snapping turtles in greenhouse 1.
As for balls of dry grass on the ground that buzz at you---they are bumblebee nests. Almost found that out the hard way.
See you all at market I hope.
Joe
