WEATHER ALERTS
Sunday - August 16, 2020
No rain in sight folks, but be prepared!

FIELD NOTES
Picture
Just finished a fall planting of beets with the MaterMacc

​​It's hard to believe but fall is just over one month away. Our winter squash and pumpkins are looking great and we've even begun turning over one of the high tunnels for fall/winter production. Even the weather lately has felt a little fall like. The last couple of days was actually a pleasure to work outdoors without sweating to death!

Well, we are back in the same boat and we are in desperate need of rain. The little bit we received today wasn't enough and we could really use a good soaking. We've been irrigating as much as we can but it's been difficult. You need moisture for seeds to germinate, seedlings to survive, and to sustain mature plants. Maybe put in a word or two with the big man for us, we could definitely use it.

WHAT TO USE FIRST 
  • Sweet Corn - 1 to 3 days in the refrigerator
  • Tomatoes - turning ripe 3 to 5 days countertop, ripe 7 days in refrigerator 
  • Cauliflower - cut florets, 4-7 days in a plastic, refrigerator crisper drawer
  • Eggplant - 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator crisper drawer 
  • Swiss Chard - 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator crisper drawer
  • Scallions - up to 1 week, unwashed, in refrigerator crisper drawer
  • Cucumbers - 1 week, unwashed, plastic bag, in the refrigerator crisper drawer​
  • Herbs - up to 2 weeks, rolled in damp paper towel, ziploc bag, refrigerator
  • Garlic - whole head of garlic unpeeled will last up to 6 months

DID YOU KNOW
Eggplant is part of the nightshade family, along with tomatoes, and potatoes, and all edible members of that family are actually fruit.
