CSA veggie pickup reminder

Hello everyone,
Can you all beleive it is July already?? It has been hot and dry most of the week..a bit of wind here and there..some of the gusts were pretty bad..a few almost afternoon thundershowers..you know those ones that get close enough that we can smell the rain then they split and rain on the plataue and up Buckhorn..just a teaser!!
So many things are changing here..cool season crops are finishing up and the warm season goodies are growing and maturing rapidly..the peas are just about done..we have a few for this week and maybe a couple pounds of snow peas next week..it looks like we will have a few favas this week..the cucs in the high tunnel are starting to take off so we will have a few more of them..Elly and I picked the first 3 Japanese Black Treifele tomatos out of the high tunnel today..Many, Many more to come in the coming weeks!! Okra is growing well..will have the first little batch of it this week..
We got a good start on mulching potatoes during our workday Wed. {Thanks to Gail and Melissa for coming out Tues to help weed them!! Huge thanks to Mable for coming out Wed to help mulch!! } They are looking great..blooming and have little potatoes about the size of dimes forming..
Peppers and eggplant in the high tunnel have little itty bitty fruit forming..some of the tomatoes in the low tunnel are starting to set fruit..the melons and winter squash are starting to take off..beans are coming up..we picked about 8 baby summer squash Wed during our squash bug patrol..and it looks like we will be starting on our main garlic harvesting about mid month!!
We should be able to add a few new things to the line up on Saturdays..{just a few of each to start so please be kind and share!!}
