The honeydew melons are just beginning to ripen. It is delicious to have a fresh, well-grown honeydew. The sweet corn takes too much water. I wonder if it’s worth it?
The days haven’t been too hot here. That means slower ripening, but still a good amount. The tomatoes are still going strong, and I hope they do all the way through October. We’ll see about that.
I am planning and planting all of our stuff for late september/october. That includes Kale, Chard, lots of lettuce mix, beets, radishes, sugar snap peas, arugula, pac choi and turnips. It should be a good end of the year for the CSA and the markets.
I might be farming on a much bigger piece of land next year (in addition to this beautiful one acre). Stay tuned.
