Things on the farm are busy as ever, with harvesting taking up most of my time now that I’m solo in the garden again. Well, almost solo — Ernest is getting pretty good at harvesting Tomatoes! However, sometimes, even in the middle of a morning harvest, I just have to stop for a photo, especially when the fauna is kind enough to match my glamorous outfit. We really don’t have enough flowers on the farm yet so I’m always happy when I spot these beauties.
Sweet corn update: thanks to drought, much of the corn is still smaller than Ernest. They’re trying to makes cobs but it’s hard to say if we will have more than a handful worth eating. They will make cute Halloween decorations. Boo!
Happily the Tomatoes, Eggplants and Peppers are still laden with fruit and I hope to have some cooler season greens for you soon. The Onions are ready to harvest and cure, we got a decent crop despite how dry it was. The potatoes are still quite green and lush so I hope we will get a good harvest if I leave them for a few more weeks.
Toronto members, if you ever get to the pick-up and something has run out, please drop by the market or text me (647-928-5253)! I will happily bring you some the next week if I don’t have any back-up with me. I try to weigh everything with a bit of a buffer, but sometimes I guess I don’t buffer enough!
Sincerely,
Jenny
