We are starting to get more and more summer squash and will have more available for our CSA members and farmstand soon.  We have zucchini, yellow crookneck, and scallop squash (aka patty pan).  For those of you who have seen our garden, you know that things are growing like crazy!  The tomatoes are doing well, and we hope to have those available in the next week or two.  The peppers are also starting to produce fruit, but it may be a few weeks before those are available.  We have a couple types of bell peppers, and several types of hot peppers, I can’t wait!  The winter squash are going completely nuts, and I’m sure everyone will enjoy those this fall.  The winter squash are good for storage, so if you get a ton, don’t feel like you have to eat them right away.  Red and yellow onions are also getting close!  And today I saw that our cucumbers are producing!  Woo hoo!

The past couple weeks we’ve been pulling a lot of plants that are past their prime.  We still have lettuce, but the variety for the salad mix is slim right now.  Tracy & I have reseeded a bunch of lettuce and other items which will probably be ready in late August and go through September.

One sad note… the broccoli didn’t do so well and was mostly just taking up valuable space.  I had chosen a variety that was supposed to be a early and prolific producer, but it wasn’t producing for us.  Since we were only able to harvest less than a half pound every couple weeks, and it was getting attacked by bugs, we decided to pull it  and plant more items for the fall.

So that is the news for now!
