August Report

After 2 long months of hot weather, it appears that we are in store for more hot weather.  That means, more irrigation, more aphids, more tomatoes, and less salad mix.

My season started in February, full on.  I just completed month 6 in the season.  The CSA still has 2 more months, while the markets go for another 3 around here.  If I had more space I would be a little more excited about the fall, but as it is, there isn’t much room for a huge fall thing.  I am making space for sugar snap and snow peas, arugula, daikon radish and lots of lettuce mix.  However, there really isn’t space for broccoli or cabbage.  That’s okay.  I like snap peas better.

Our friend Zoe just left to go to law school at Berkely.  For 1.5 solid months she volunteered on the farm and she turned into a great farmer in that time.  Her favorite activities were harvesting carrots and planting carrots, followed closely by watering carrots and preparing carrot beds.  I miss her, but I’ll get over it someday.
