Some Like it Hot
Another few hot and humid days. So much fun!!! The heat is great for many of our crops; peppers, tomatoes. melons, corn.... but the humidity, well it could be nonexistent and I don't think anything/anybody would miss it!
This variety of corn is a bit more dense than the first, but still not as large as it has been in the past. I am thinking it was the super dry spell we had caused the kernels not to form as large as usual. But that is ok, it's still succulent and sweet -- perfect shaved off the cob into salsa or a burrito!!!
"Lettuce" be known that lettuce is a cool weather crop. Traditionally I can make it happen all summer long without a glitch, but this year it has been very difficult for me to grow in this heat. But alas it has made an appearance again this week (and hopefully from here on out). It's funny how smooth some crops grow and how tricky others are from year to year. For those of you who are anxious for fall, the winter squash is looking better than ever!! Now, if I could just keep the porcupines from nibbling it....
This Week's Bounty: lettuce, cabbage, carrot, zucchini, onion, summer squash, eggplant, cucumber, corn, tomato, melon/broccoli (full shares), hot pepper, cilantro, dill, parsley
