It's officially Summer! And the early mornings and late evenings are oh so beautiful and perfect. I love being able to walk outside at 5:30 with a cup of coffee and wander through the garden before the sunrises.
The middle of the day is a different story though, the heat this week has been intense. I think we've been in the mid 90s for a few days... and that's a little too hot for this farmer!
Mike has been great about keeping things irrigated so the veggies are growing FAST. I think they're loving the heat. The tomatoes are starting to load up with fruit, whoop whoop!
We harvested quite a few snap peas this week and the snow peas are just getting started. Fava beans are sizing up and peppers are forming. Grow veggies grow!
Weeding has been our main focus this week. We have some amazing friends helping us, thanks guys!
OK, I'm going to leave you with harvest details for the week and this beautiful photo of a Two Tailed Swallowtail butterfly...
Head Lettuce
