So we all got a little loopy by the end of the workday. None of us are used to working in full sun after the recent five week rain spat. Although there were multiple sun burns, mild dehydration and a little sun craziness, it is well worth it to have that thing shining again. The plants and I are psyched. We were finally able to get a lot of hoeing done (by we I mean our workshare Dave who did all the hoeing today), which is pointless in the rain. You really have to wait for a good sunny day if you want all the weeds you knock out to actually die. We also planted our third and last succession of tomatoes, and of course, picked all the food for our bellies tomorrow.
You'll have:
scallions
salad mix
peas (this is it for the spring peas, so saviour them and pray that our fall pea crop does better than last year's--I think it will)
summer squash (a tiny amount, just for the full shares this week, but don't worry half shares, next week there will surely be plenty more for all)
herbs: chives, parsley, mint, anise, lemon balm, oregano, basil, sage, thyme
beets
fennel
there's a possibility I've forgotten something, we'll see tomorrow, and see you then...to another sunny day!
