We are in the thick of summer, and despite the stifling heat, we've been planting collards, kale, kohlrabi, bok choy, and dandelion greens. You have to plant the transplants early in the morning so that they don't wilt in the midday scorch, but we have them successfully in the ground and couldn't be more excited. Pigs, raccoons, and deer have been coming after our melons as of late, which has been a catalyst for us to finish the fence around the periphery of the farm. We harvested our first sweet potatoes this week, thanks to our Farm Manager, Becky! This is the earliest we have ever had this crop ready to harvest!
