Yet another great week for us…we had perfect rhythm to our days and powered through some really big jobs in hot hot weather.  Scott is spot on with “beautification” and the gardens look nice and tidy and our harvest schedule is set daily.  Life is good.

ALL Brussels Sprouts! Tidy nice wide rows.  

We had a fantastic baby cabbage harvest, cleaned up the area and the next morning it was replanted with Fall Cauliflower/Romanesco.  A huge transplanting of lettuce went in the hoop house again, we picked beans every other day and pulled the plants after the 4 picking and another rotation begins.  Final Fall seeds are being started in the greenhouse for transplant and cool radishes going in the ground for later harvest….

Watermelon is sizing up and spaghetti squash too.

Watermelon around the corner.

And the 1st slice tomato from the patch.
