Continuation
by Farmer Derek

Welcome to Harvest Week #2, Week B. I've been racing around since the rain let up Friday, doing a million and a half things before the next round arrives tomorrow, Tuesday. When the weather is good and the ground is dry we fly. Thus, shortened notes again this week.

Ground was prepped for eggplant, watermelon, cantaloupe, winter squash, zucchini, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, leeks, lettuce, basil, scallions, herbs, beans, edamame, tomatoes, and strawberries. Carrots were weeded and hoed. Landscape fabric was applied for future watermelon and cantaloupe. Cover crops were mowed. Veggie crops were irrigated, others transplanted.

Tomorrow and Thursday we harvest. Wednesday we seed in the greenhouse then maybe transplant tomatillos and cherry tomatoes. Friday we probably begin weeding the onion patch.

'Tis the season!
