We're starting to feel the heat! Sunscreen and Gatorade are in high demand. With the soil warming up, all the weeds are really starting to germinate, so we are working hard to get on top of them. Tomatoes are setting their first fruits, and eggplants and peppers are just starting to flower, too! We are finishing up our large bulk harvest of cool weather crops like beets and carrots, and bracing ourselves to get all of the potatoes out of the ground. Sweet potato slips are growing fast... in another week or two we'll be harvesting them to transplant over 11 acres.
