Yaaaay!! Rain!!! I hope the tomatoes survive! They are not rain lovers
this late in the season. I will bring what I have, no promises this
week. Everything else is doing well. The spinach is popping up, I hope
the rain doesn’t affect it badly. We are building a shade cover for the
beds, let’s hope it helps for the fall rain.
I hope to have kiwis and apples again this fall. We don’t raise a lot of
these and they can be hit or miss as we don’t spray the apples at all
and the bugs do love them. It seems there is not a lot of damage this
year from them so we may be good. The kiwis don’t seem to have any
problems like that, but they are tasty! We keep checking them for
ripeness. Fingers crossed!
If you’d like to reserve something, please text me at 734 945 0720 and I
will let you know. Thank you so much for all your support this summer!
Winter squash, spaghetti and acorn
Cabbage, big ones and small ones
Peppers, red and orange, big and small
Scallions or green onions
