Hot and Steamy!

Posted: Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

While we’re loving the warmer temperatures after the rain last week (1.5″ + some), it sure is hot and steamy!  Hot weather means that we are scrambling to harvest crops that are maturing quicker than we’d planned, and to get them harvested before they melt under the sun.  Ugh!  Our loyal harvest crew stuck out the hot, humid Monday harvest and agreed to come in an hour earlier tomorrow (6 am) to beat the heat and help us continue to bring in the harvest.  This explains the bounty of crops that CSA members are receiving this week and my quick post!  -  Cate
