Currently Harvesting...

Oops, I've let that list slide a bit. The past couple of weeks have been all about the harvests really. We're now harvesting zucchini and cucumber three times a week (monday, wednesday, and friday) along with our usual harvests on tuesday, thursday, and friday.

This passed week was a great week, with a few different crops becoming ready, and in enough proportions, that we could bring them to the CSA dropoffs and market. So, from the top, here's what is currently being harvested:

• Melons. But you knew that.
• Tomatoes.
• Green Peppers.
• Zucchini. This includes the familiar green or yellow sort, plus other sorts of summer squash: patty pan, and crook neck.
• Cucumber.
• Lettuce.
• Green/Yellow/Purple Beans.
• Carrots.
  
• Onions.
  
• Beets.
• Potatoes.
• Garlic.
• Parsley.
• Cilantro.
• Basil.
• Dill.
  

We also managed to harvest some corn on Friday, but Ali felt it was too unevenly pollinated and pesty to bring to market or to the CSA.

Cantaloupe, corn, different sorts of tomatoes, fennel, chard, and green onions are all in the near future.

The only way to harvest melons...
