So many, too many, bunches of carrots. Greg's face says it all.
Carrots are involved to say it simply. They require patience, extensive w**d management and likely straight up w**ding, insect netting for preventative damage steps, and water, particular watering. This crop requires so much tending as we say. And the work has provided us with an exceptional crop.

New crop of beets have all germinated. Dane is tending the next beds of beets that we will begin harvesting from in the next couple weeks. The heavy and frequent rains defiantly helped with this crops germination. Provided challenges in many other aspects. And germinating direct seeded and newly transplanted crops is always a help with rain. Especially summer showers.

The Tropea Onion, an Italian fresh Onion is celebrated for its sweetness. Recipes it shines in are Onion soup, salads, and I bet fridge pickled too. It's been a champ of a crop this season which is welcomed because we have other crop struggles for sure this year.

Somehow its already a week into August and we are looking forward to welcoming new crops for the season. Beets have been rocky this year due to slugs (who knew they liked devouring beet root!), tropea onion, this is a new sweet fresh onion variety for us and it's fantastic, plus jalapeños!

July in a wrap! The month was full and went by fast! So much happened and we have had a variety of weather which continues to diversify our ability to cultivate produce.
We had down pours and Syd was shielding the cucumber harvest, garlic harvest when we pulled the entire crop for the year on a smoking hot day, crops that have been coming in are cabbage and beets. Plus Runder staying close by always
