Sunday night report

We got some welcomed rain, some wind, some blown over flowers, but no disasters.

Thankfully all of the tunnels are fine, the tomatoes inside them are fine, and we are relaxing tonight. (I haven't checked the outside peppers - I was worried about them.

There is some sweet corn that is flattened but hopefully the roots are still in tact and it can be harvested. It is a more painful harvest since you need to bend over. Below are some picture from the last few days.


Here where the onions were planted. They are all in the greenhouse now - getting ready for storage.

Here is Josh - returning from a farm check during the rain and wind on Sunday.
Franks was out with Josh to check on things during the "tropical storm" on Sunday late morning. He was really mad when I took is soaked suit and clothes off.

Calvin just finished harvesting onions and moving them into the greenhouse to cure.

Here is Nicole on Thursday cleaning up some onions for the road side stand.

  1. That was the best corn I have ever eaten.

    We prepared it quickly, just 20-25 minutes in the oven at 400°F, with about half the husk removed. And then we just served it with butter, Sicilian sea salt, and cracked pepper.

    Sometimes, the simplest meals can be the most memorable.
