Herbs, Greens and Tomatoes

We have a lot of herbs ready for picking. If you are interested in some, ask when you come for pickup. For the delivery people, we are trying to put some extra herbs in your boxes and you are always welcome to stop by Sweetwater Market and get some off our table there. If you know you want some ahead of time, let me know and I'll take extra there for you.

There's also extra kale and chard for whomever wants some. There's a knife in a plastic container nailed to a fencepost out by them (the front of the driveway) and you can cut your own. Or get some from us at Sweetwater Market. You can check the blog to see if there's some included in the week's share.

We have had tomatoes for CSA by this time all past years. This year - NADA. Very few fruits are setting yet because it is so cold! The Weatherman said this may be the coldest July on record. Frost in multiple counties 3 mornings this week, highs in the 60s. Tomatoes like 60s and 70s at night, 80s and higher in the day. They thrive on hot sunny weather. Sorry - you should eventually get some - the plants look great! We have over 600 plants in (100 more than last year).
