CSA Pick up June 30


This is the third week of pick up for the CSA. Because of all the rain and cool weather the plants are growing but very slowly except for the peas. They are in heaven. The Squash should have been ready this week but unfortunately, they are still small and so we have to wait another week. The green beans are up but haven't started to flower yet so we need to keep waiting.
The tomatoes are growing and so far do not have Septoria Leaf Blight. Because of all the rain it is showing up as a problem to farmers in Connecticut and could wipe out the tomato crop. I am optimistic about our tomatoes because of the weekly Nutrient Density Soil Drenches I am applying and I am trellising the tomatoes to keep them up off the ground. Planting through black plastic also helps stop the splash up of bacteria on to the lower leaves. The next few days are suppose to be sunny which is WONDERFUL. The plants want the SUN!!!!
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.
