A we bit foggy up here this morning. Lot's of produce coming in. Time to do some marketing and get stuff processed for the winter soup business. Could use a couple of dry days in a row just to get at the weeds and insects. All in all things are doing well. Thrips in the basil are the new challenge. At least I know what is in there now. Plenty of deliveries today, lots of cherry tomatoes, cukes, zukes.

To market, to market with a fat hen....... another fine summer day on tap. Heat has been great for everything except the lettuce. Although the deer and flea beetles have played a small part in it's demise as well. Should be a good market today. I have chanterelle mushrooms, japanese eggplant, okra, new potatoes, chilled cucumber soup, fresh pesto, broccoli, cabbage and few more things. Hopefully I will be a bit less invisible today. People still don't "see" me or the stand, a real marketing challenge that needs to be fixed. I will drop the crew off at market and then come back to try and do battle with the insects. They are having a marvelous year also. All kinds of new trouble makers on the farm this year. Oh Cherry tomatoes are in! I have a mixed pint with 8 different types. A few are a real surprise since they are not the tomato planted. Some rogue seed.
See you all there. Joe
