Some Tomatoes in between Raindrops and Farmer Friends Days

 

Market List: 

Foragers Salad Mix, Arugula, Spicy Mixed Greens-Radish, Purple Mustard, Bok Choi and Arugula-, Radishes, Kalettes and a small amount of Purple Podded Snow Peas and Grass Fed Lamb, I still have A LOT of Tomato Plants left for sale and while I'm not going to list them all, we do have a new variety this week- Vintage Wine. 

Billy finally got some beds shaped for the Tomato plants and fences put up for them to grow onto. While it doesn't seem like much, I did get 3 rows with 6 varieties (Pink Girl, Rutgers, Purple Carbon, Japanese Black Trifele, Azoychke Russian and Cherokee Green) and a total of 204 tomatoes planted. There was more room - but of course-it rained AGAIN and AGAIN. But still, we managed to plant celery, more lettuce and Redbor Kale. Crazy weather, Tornados today, 90 degrees tomorrow and 77 on Saturday but eventually we will get the rest of those tomatoes in the ground. By the way, the tomatoes in the Greenhouse and High Tunnel, which are Black from Tula, Sunrise Sauce, Jet Star, and Chef's Choice are all blooming. 

In July, we are doing 2 events, July 17th is Friends of the Farm Day. That day we will be doing a Pig Roast, tours of the farm and of course, swimming in our amazing lake is included. On July 31, Known and Grown, an organization that we proudly belong to which documents that the local farms that they represent actually grow all the food that they bring to Market in a clean and natural way, is sponsoring another Farm Day here. It will be similar, Tours, our Famous Salsa, drinks and swimming. We would love you to see how we do things here on the Farm. 

See you Saturday!

God's Blessings on you and yours, 

TTFN
