Mid-Summer at Stoney Lonesome

Progress Report from the Garden




My grandma always said that when you hit the 4th of July summer was on its way out and fall was right around the corner. Doesn't seem very likely around here when its 100 degrees and the dog days of summer are still leaving us panting for cooler air! But in any event, it is the middle of summer and it is time for a progress report from the gardens.




Garlic and onions are harvested and busy curing.
A beautiful mosaic of colors in the barn.

and the fragrance of garlic above our heads



Potatoes are coming up with a lot of help from interns Logan, Katherine and farmer Pablo.





The "future field" aka the BIG Field is also producing volumes of produce and there are good things on the horizon for the CSA shares. Take a look:

Okra is almost ready. Harvest helpers enjoyed a few bites this week


and all those blossoms will soon be green beans


and it looks like a jalopeno party is in our near future




but for this week enjoy the bounty of a good harvest



The Share - Week 8
Basil, Parsley, Garlic, Red Torpedo Onions, Broccoli,
Potatoes, Tomatoes and Cherry Tomatoes, Summer Squash and
the most delicious cucumbers you will ever eat!




until next harvest...
