Its a lean week for your pick up this week we've got ripening tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes and maybe just maybe cukes.
Everyone is hard at work transplanting lettuces back into the fields for the fall harvest and of course doing mother natures work and irrigating every chance we get. If anyone out there knows a raindance that works now sure would be the time to give it a try - lol- this heat and draught is giving farmers from one end of the country to another a hard time.
Speaking of hard times the broccoli has gone the way of the dodo bird and will be bushhoged this week to become green manure - it fought the good fight but its time to give it up! Hope you all enjoyed it while you could!
Let us know how the draught is effecting things around your house - here in our woods we have a number of large trees that will have to be removed this year as they died a slow death this summer. While that wasn't from the draught this year its from the big one five years ago - the lack of rain sure hasn't helped. I've also noticed I'm not getting great blooms on my flowers and even the understory in the woods hasn't been as lush and as thick as it normally is. You know its bad when even the weeds are struggling!
See you soon,
Farm Foodie
