A week that zipped by for us. Our days had clear focus of weed, water, harvest and repeat. Amazing growth in the garden with the hot days and warm nights. Daily visits to the cucumber and zucchini patches hauling out containers of produce. Hours were spent making our way down the long bean rows picking handfuls and handfuls of delicious beans. The Melons and Squash double in size over night and we would marvel.
Spaghetti Squash on the vine.
Same Spagetti Squash the next day!
Tomatoes have finally started ripening!!! and they will appear in some shares this week. Our warm season crops are loving these days. Every spare moment Scott was on weed patrol as the weeds too love these warm days and it is important to stay well ahead of them.

More lettuce was transplanted in the hoop house right after this weeks harvest came out and yet another long row of carrots went in. This carrot crop will be a sweet treat for the Winter Share as we snuggled 3 long rows in the hoop house for a late harvest after frost.
