Our winter crop is looking amazing!
FIELD NOTES
After the weekend heatwave (and man was it hot) the rain finally arrived and we are excited! There's still lots of harvest and field work to do but it feels great! The crops will love it too and we should see them explode! Not literally of course, but they were thirsty and it will push them along for sure.
Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant are almost to size. We should be harvesting firsts into the coming week. All other crops are holding steady.
After all this rain most weeds will germinate and it'll be a mad-dash to catch all of them before they take over. It's looking much cooler this week though which will keep the crew happy and the plants a little less stressed.
Really can't believe August is just around the corner.
See you soon!
