It's hot!!! But I'm not complaining
Well the sun is out and it is hot. I had hoped that all the bad weather we had in April would be the end of the wet and cold, and it seems to be. The plants are also loving this weather, the lettuce and greens are growing fast, and the sugar snaps are coming on quick, finally I can see the rows of haricot vers, onions are looking better than I have ever seen them this time of year, and I can't help but smile when I think our beutiful strawberries! The past two seasons the strawberries have been few and far between, but alot of hard work went into them this spring and they look as happy as I am. It's crunch time now, and with heat like this, timing is everything, I have to plan the days harvesting very carefully. If anything is picked to hot or not cooled down quick enough it will result in an unacceptable product that will have a short shelf life, so with only a few exceptions everything is harvested before noon or after six, the mid day is reserved for packing, washing, weeding or crossing a couple things of my neverending maintenance list. I don't think the farm has ever looked as good as it does now, which means I'm doing my job.
