This past week seemed to go by so quickly. We spent most of our time harvesting and Adam spent a good deal of time making new beds. Last year it seemed that I wrote A LOT about weather and deer. So I feel it's time to mention them both again. I've been seeing a good deal of deer out on the sides of the road (alive I mean) at all times of the day. Looking for green things, I suppose. Since we put up the electric fencing they haven't been a problem for us, I can't say the same thing for the rabbits. Their eating habits are like those, well of rabbits. They graze. Unless it involves edamame. Those were plowed through and we're pretty sure it was the rabbits.
This hot weather and lack of rain has been tough on us. I haven't talked with any other folks who farm, but I'm assuming we're not the only ones. We have an excellent irrigation system, but it can only do so much. Drip tape definitely doesn't take the place of a good soaking rain occasionally. Even the weeds are looking pretty brown.
Pray for rain!
This weeks the share will be some variation of - tomatoes, peppers, fennel, squash, onions, potatoes, garlic and maybe a few surprises
