July 6th, 2010

Hello all, I had a very full holiday weekend as I am sure you did too.  The Crescent City farmers market was once again pretty successful in spite of the wind and a one-week venue change, altho it seems that the whole coast was windier than normal.  The electric fence is fully operational, we fired it up on Sunday night.  I served as the guinea pig and indeed it does deliver a potent shock that is not recommended for children, small pets or those with fragile tickers.  And so far so good, no four footed trespassers in the garden. 

I feel like we have finally gotten ahead of the weeds a bit, just in time to plant out the fall garden later this month.  It will tentatively feature rutabega, carrot, celariac, brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale, chard, radicchio, napa cabbage, bok choi, turnips, and daikon radish.   We have begun to eat most of our meals from farm only ingredients including  cucumbers, okra, garlic, basil, chard, kale, cabbage and tomatoes soon. 

My camera seems to have died, so pictures will be coming again soon, but not this week.  Until then, I will have to wow you with my words alone. 

Catch you later, Dustin.
