Season 2: Week 12 : August 19: More Tomatoes!

We harvested squash and tomatoes and then hand-weeded some broccoli. We picked plum, heirloom and brandywine types .The farm has expanded to a field further down towards Mud Creek. The rows now are still 175 – 200 ft, but are not next to one another, as much as they continue lengthwise one after another. We got about 4 -5 bread trays of tomotoes.

The broccoli and cabbage area was 3 beds x 3 rows x 200 ft. It was somewhat boring but hopefully the large leaves of the cabbage will cover the ground and prevent the weeds from coming back.

The share this week was: 2 squash; 1 garlic; 2 or 3 peppers; 3 heads lettuce; Choice of 3 (corn, eggplant, 1 lb. beets, 2 small eggplants, fava beans); 2 ½ lbs. carrots; 1 lb. rainbow chard; 4 lbs. tomatoes

Upick now includes cherry tomatoes and scallions
