As mentioned previously we suffered losses due to the cold weather, now we are experiencing the reverse. The hot weather has caused temperatures in our pepper house to reach 120 degrees. This extreme temperature was too much for the peppers to handle, and as a result they have been wiped out. In addition, it has been extremely difficult for our left over tomatoes. However, the eggplant, lettuce, herbs, arugula seem to be overcoming these extreme temperatures. The beets, swiss chard, sorrel are also doing well!
For all current members, just a reminder that the last drop off will be the first week of June (June 6, 2010). We will be carefully monitoring the quality of our produce to ensure the best produce is provided until the end of the season.
Furthermore, in the next few days we will begin our cleanup. This cleanup will consist of removing the buckets which are placed behind our tomato plants, among other things. As we fully support and promote sustainable agriculture we will also begin the process of returning dead bedding plants into the field, as a form of recycling and composting.
We hope everyone is enjoying this extended trial of fresh, local produce and once again thank our CSA family members for their continued support. Teenaspride CSA
