how hot is it?

So hot that when we dug up potatoes, they were already baked!


So hot, today I saw a chicken lay a fried egg!



Despite the heat things are moving right along. Some plants really like this weather - peppers- and then others, not so much - salad greens.
Late last week and this week we started harvesting garlic.



In Virginia garlic is usually planted mid October and it's harvested mid June into July. I would say garlic is in the ground longer than any other annual crop. Luckily it's pretty carefree. The variety we're growing this year is called Music.



Claire and I checked on the bees today and they're looking great and they're making lots of honey





Please enjoy the rest of the pics!





Did I mention that it's hot?

This week the shares will receive (a variation of) potatoes, tomatoes, onions, garlic, carrots, cabbage and squash
