(413) 800-5583 bardwellfarm@gmail.com FIELD NOTES  Severe thunderstorms moved over the farm last week dropping over 3+ inches of rain Welcome to Week 9 everyone! I can't believe it's almost August and we're already talking about fall crops. You should see the pumpkin plants, they're looking awesome. Mother Nature has been throwing everything at us lately from extreme heat to excessive precipitation, 3 inches plus in some cases. The storms have been pretty severe too with dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning. I think we lucked-out on the last one that came through. Just to the south of us some towns were measuring half inch hail and Warren may have had a funnel cloud from the very same cell that passed right over our farm. On-top of the weather the crew has been battling weeds, keeping the good fight trellising tomatoes, and staking just about everything. Despite the 90 to 100 degree temps its been getting done and I'm proud of them. It's not easy doing this kind of work. New to the share this week... fresh garlic, tomatoes, several varieties of eggplant, purple and red savoy cabbage, and a new trio of herbs, enjoy! Owner Harrison Bardwell WHAT TO USE FIRST
TIP: GARLIC The shelf life of garlic can go as long as a year or as short as a few days depending on how you store it. A properly stored whole bulb of garlic can last up to three to five months in the pantry. Once the bulb is broken, you can expect the quality of your garlic to decrease rather quickly. Individual unpeeled garlic cloves can last for seven to ten days in the pantry.

(413) 800-5583 bardwellfarm@gmail.com WEATHER ALERTS UPDATE Sunday - July 12, 2020 It looks like another stormy week ahead so be prepared folks! FIELD NOTES  Seeding the next setting of carrots! It's been another crazy week in the field. Tropical storms, wind, thunder, lightning bolts (really close ones I may add), hot-humid, and rainy days. We're taking everything Mother Nature is throwing at us and making German Stripe Heirloom Tomato sandwiches with salt, pepper, and mayo! We dodged a bullet really with this one. This Field Notes would have been a little different with a 4" rainfall and 30 to 50 mph winds thrown in. Luckily we were able to trellis our field peppers and stake tomatoes just before it hit and everything held up pretty good. As a farmer your crops are always one step away from disaster and there's nothing you can do about it. With that said things are looking up! Those field peppers, tomatoes, and eggplant are looking amazing. We've also begun trials of of trellising cucumbers and more peppers in the high tunnels to have product earlier, later, and to protect them from the harsh summer conditions. We love it when a plan comes together. It's 8:30pm, dark, and we are finishing installation of the brush washer by truck headlights... on to the next project :) Enjoy the share this week folks, we have SWEET CORN! WHAT TO USE FIRST
TIP: HOW LONG TO BOIL CORN ON THE COB Fill a large pot with water. Pour 1 quart of water per ear into your largest pot, add Kosher salt, then bring the water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the corn. Be sure you do not over crowd the pot. As soon as the water returns to a boil, the corn is done. This should only take 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover the pot with a lid. The corn can stay in the hot water for up to 30 minutes.
