Greetings from the produce patch!

Greetings from the produce patch...
on another dripping wet day. One of the many wet ones this week. All the moisture and minimal sunshine brought produce growth to a bare minimum. Yet, we'll be glad for every drop later in the summer.
It looks like next week will be a lighter week for the boxes, catching us between the early greens and the 1st of the main season run.
The PEAS (shelling variety) are showing their 1st plump pods and are loaded with small ones and blossoms. Look for the 1st ones this week. There will probably be just enough to give everyone a little taste.
STRAWBERRIES are showing red ripe ones, but don't look for them in your boxes quite yet.
The TOMATOES hang full of green bulbs which promise for a good crop if weather permits.

The last things are now going out of the greenhouse, with about 300 late planting heirloom tomato plants and 500' of late potatoes going in the ground yesterday (Friday, June 11th!).

Many more exciting things on the forefront, but time doesn't permit to name them all.

Let's hear your comments/questions/complaints, or whatever you might have! We're growing for you!

We hope to have the following items in the next boxes:
1st peas (shelling variety)
rhubarb
kale
and a little of each of the following:
head lettuce
leaf lettuce
spinach


Happy Eating!
John!
