I was fortunate to receive a grant from the Louisiana Small Scale Agriculture Coalition to help cover the cost of adding my last 12 beds. Iriel Edwards and Maggie Kaiser visited me last week to check out my progress and offer great feedback on farming. I wasn't smart enough to get a picture with them but they got one of me for their Eat Local campaign. It has been great to meet such passionate farmers.

I will be at the Lafitte Street Farmers Market today from 9 AM - 1 PM. The blueberries and blackberries are on heavy. I have plenty of Zephyr squash which is so good roasted with olive oil and salt! Beets and carrots are winding down in the heat. I plan to have lettuce year round again. If you can't make it to the market, you can order online https://homegrowninfolsom.com/

I will not be at the Lafitte Street Farmers Market this coming Saturday June 6th. I will be back the following weekend and will still be doing deliveries during the week if you order online. Mandeville on Tuesdays. I prefer to drop off at your house in Mandeville instead of meeting at St Ann Wine bar between 11AM - Noon but flexible. Lots of good veggies on plus blueberries and blackberries.

Lady bugs can look pretty mean - I tried to not to kill any bugs on my plants unless I can identify them. The large majority of bugs don't cause any issues to plants or fruit and many help. Some of the good guys can look pretty rough in different stages of life. This picture of my cucumbers shows aphids (square) being fed on by a lady bug larva (circle).

The Lafitte Street Farmers Market will be closed tomorrow (May 9th) due to weather. I will be making deliveries in Mandeville on Tuesday if you want veggies or you can come out to Folsom. You can order online at www.homegrowninfolsom.com

A few new items on this week I will have at The Lafitte Street Farmers Market in Mandeville tomorrow. Green beans and cucumbers will be on for a while. Both are the best I have ever tasted! I also have new red potatoes harvested a few days ago. The potatoes will only be sold for a short time as I keep most for us. Amazing how much better these taste compared to anything you purchase in stores.

Two of the biggest pest in my garden that mainly impact my squash were on the same leaf the other day. The squash vine borer is the one that looks like a red wasp. It will lay eggs usually on the stem of the plant closer to the ground. The larvae then bores into the stem and begins to eat the core creating a sawdust looking frass on the stem. You will see the plant suddenly die but the larvae has been at work for a while. The bug in the shadow towards the top is a squash bug that is laying eggs. The bug pierces the plant sucking out the plants sap which eventually kills all the leaves. I will squish the eggs if I see them. I don't use any pesticides (even organic ones) so I cover plants with insect netting until they start flowering then uncover so the fruit can get pollenated. I do succession planting so I have some plants coming on when others are starting to die off.

The Lafitte Street Farmers Market is closed today due to weather. I will be reaching out directly to those of you who ordered online for pickup at the market today to get you your veggies.
