We had a heck of a week here, several great volunteers, Two from Known and Grown St. Louis, 1 of which reframed a door on Greenhouse #1, two from Church of Latter Day Saints and my trusty local Wwoofer Lesley who comes most weeks. Lots of Redbor Kale planted, Flowers for bouquet fillers, tomatoes in and around the Greenhouse and High tunnel and amazingly the carrots that were planted weeks ago, finally made an appearance. The cucumbers are filling out and the Poblanos have blooms on them. I'm pretty sure that all the fruit survived the freeze last week. Whoo Hoo!

So FINALLY a dry Market up ahead! 81 Degrees this Saturday. I haven't heard the Whippoorwill yet but pretty sure that we are on an uphill spiral. I think we'll both see you on Saturday. 

God's Blessings on you and yours, 

TTFN,
