Hard to believe but we’re more than half way through 2015. Pumpkins and other winter squash are ripening. The corn is finished, much to the disappointment of our local customers. Tomatoes are ripe and the melons are so aromatic the bees are tumbling around in their flowers. The pictures should speak louder than my words.
August 11, just before the onions began drying down.

Paul preps the field for planting chicories.
Winter squash is thriving, with Santos planting chicories in the background.
Serrano peppers are loaded!
Two types of lettuce, ready to transplant, with a bed all ready.
Four successions of sunflowers, planted every two weeks.
Eggplant! The first planting was lost. This crop is coming very soon.
Fennel and radicchio dot the field.
Our kales and other greens have had a hard summer.
The next two crops of beans. We’ve been gapping on beans. They should be back at the market next week…
Giant pumpkins are revealing themselves by the Farm Stand.
“Sunshine” kabocha squash
Shallots and red onions dry under the big old oak. Nice place for the bees, huh?
