Almost There!

Cosmos
It's been another busy week out in the garden, we've been trying to keep up with the weeding, the mulching,  squishing bugs, finishing up planting the summer stuff and more weeding. The plants have really taken off this week, the bean plants are up to the top of the trellis! We think it'll be another week at least before we get tomatoes, but it looks like squash is right around the corner. We planted 10 varieties of tomatoes including Dad's Sunset, Mortgage Lifter, Mr. Stripey,Hungarian Heart,Gold Medal, Pineapple Hawaiian,Moonglow,San Marzano, Celebrity and Grape tomatoes. We can't wait to try them!

Yellow Squash

Here's what we'll have this week at the market: Green Peas, Kale, Rainbow Chard, Carrots, Beets, Onions, Garlic and New Zealand Spinach. We'll also have our usual selection of herbs, cut flowers and some handmade pottery.
