SHARE # 8 - July 10 Delivery and July 13 Pickup

Greetings folks,

Sorry to be a bit slow to write this week. Lots of party around here on Monday!

FARM NEWS

It is so nice to see the sunshine. I am really looking forward to weeding and planting. And to seeing some flowers bloom. Today when I toured the garden I saw several pole bean varieties in bloom, many dahlia buds showing color, and a pink raspberry! More good news: I seem to have at least discouraged the woodchucks through a combination of covering some crops (kale and chard), using hot pepper spray (dahlias) and setting out protective barriers of fox urine (tomatoes, peppers and eggplant). I really hope this keeps them at bay. The woodchucks did eat some of the kale so I need to let it recover a bit before harvesting a lot.

The peas continue to be productive and the lettuce hasn't bolted. Lots replanting happening this week - arugula, mesclun, kolrabi and more. My hip is steadily improving although I have to be very careful not to overdo. But it is delightful to be able to weed and pick. Heather has cheerfully taken on all the digging, rock hauling and straw bale lifting, etc. Thanks, Heather!
