The magic time

Paul, the farmer we apprenticed for, called this month around the solstice the magic time. There is so much sunshine, if the weather is good, everything will grow like crazy. And everything is growing like crazy! Corn is picking up and might hit knee-high by the Fourth of July. Potatoes are sizing up and we anticipate having new potatoes in the next few weeks. In the greenhouse, the eggplants are getting near harvest and the tomato plants are taller than Jeremy, thinking about turning their tomatoes red. Our early zucchini are nearly ready to start picking, and the late zucchini are close behind. Fennel and kohlrabi are also sizing up nicely. The next several weeks should see a lot of new veggies coming on.

Not everything loves the sun and heat, though - the peas are wrapping up in this hot weather, and one planting of lettuce went to seed. It can also be hard on the crew, but our new pond is helping a bit with that. (More on the pond next week!)
