The tomatoes are LOVING this weather! They are big, beautiful, and ripening on the vine for your eating pleasure… The eggplant and peppers are looking good and as long as we continue to win the battle over the potato beetles we should be seeing some nice results soon.
Our MEGA DEER FENCE is still standing strong and we have not had any deer mistake our garden for an all you can eat buffet this year .
We are thinking about hosting a fall mushroom hike led by Fungiboy and his beautiful apprentice Katelyn. Please let us know if any of you have interest in attending. We would probably coordinate it sometime in late August or September.
We are still waiting to see what our canning tomato surplus will be… if anyone is interested in purchasing extra tomatoes for canning please let us know and we will reach out to you when we have a better idea of our inventory.
Sustainably yours,
Bryan and Katelyn
