In the Full Swing of Summer

Wow has this summer been hot! We're so glad that after 5 weeks of roasting ourselves in the field, it finally cooled off for us. Boy are we enjoying the 80's instead of 100's. The field crops have taken a beating when it comes to burning up in the heat. The green beans, chard and beets were short lived due to the heat. We're looking forward to planting for the fall and enjoying these items again since we didn't really get our fill the first time. It seems everything has slowed down including us with the heat!
We're busy planting seedlings for the fall and they are looking great. We're getting ready to plant them in the field soon.
We're also trying at the same time to clean up the fields from crops that are finished. That means pulling dead plants, tilling and re-laying plastic and drip tape for the next crops.
