Friends,
Hope everyone was able to ride out the storm safely this week. As usual, it took out our internet and it just came back on line today. Sorry for the lateness of this email but we are at the mercy of the tower over on the Jeptha Knobs and they didn't get it repaired till today.
Things are growing well but we still need a couple of weeks of 90's without any rain. What really slows things down are the cool night temperatures. This morning it was 57 when we got up and this is too cool for tomatoes, peppers, melons and eggplant. They cherry tomatoes are doing well and we also have some others that have come in this week that you will get. All half shares will get two pints of cherry tomatoes this week as well as Yukon Gold potatoes, Basil, Squash, pint of larger tomatoes, Green (purple) beans and cucumbers. Some of the cucumbers are Bothby Blonde which is a yellow cucumber which is absolutely wonderful! We do try to grow things that you will never see in a grocery store. Only with locally grown food can you get the variety that we can provide for you. Beth will have all your goodies at St.Matthew's and if for some reason you can't come, let us know via email or you can call Beth on her cell at 640-0042. Remember your bags!!
