All is well in the gardens. We are keeping up with the weeding-just keeping up but keeping up and not overwhelmed. A HUGE second rotation of broccoli went out this past week, and another seeded in the greenhouse for a final rotation down the road.
2nd pass of weeding out the brussels sprout rows.
Transplanting broccoli right behind Scott pulling out last week’s harvest. Next week’s broccoli harvest behind me.
Scott is trellising up the tomatoes that are growing tall and we marvel at the big tomatoes developing. A funny story….The neighbor and Scott were chatting by the tomato patch and the neighbor asks….”what’s all that fluffy yellow stuff in your tomatoes…?” Scott turned around not knowing what on earth he was referring to and looked, paused and said BLOSSOMS! Fingers crossed maybe our best tomato year in a long time…..
Cherry tomato plants loaded with blossoms…
Slice tomatoes developing.
1st Cherry tomatoes ripening.
More carrots seeded in again and harvest is slowly taking over our days. Hours were spent with the peas and the carrot harvest took the better part of an afternoon by the time we got them out cleaned and weighed for the share. Summer is here and 4th of July around the corner.

carrots!-We planned on harvesting next week but were concerned that with the soil so wet and the heat coming on they may split so we added them to this week. Sweet!

Best guess for next week….collard greens, romaine, broccoli, zucchini, cabbage and more.
