Greetings HeartEye Village CSA members!  Summer squash is here!  We are happy to report the summer squash plants are in full gear, no longer just idling along.  And what happy little squashes they are, sweet and good-natured!  We’ve had some great changes in the garden this week.  The zinnias started blooming and we are starting to see tomatoes forming on the vines!  The tomato plants seem thrilled to be alive and appear to be doubling in size nightly.  And in anticipation of the abundance of crops we hope to continue to have, we encourage anyone interested to sign up for the Food Preservation Workshop on the 31^st.

We also have one favor to ask of you all.  We need everyone to take a few minutes to do a little hokey-pokey magic dance during the upcoming full moon in order to make sure we do not become victims of the GH PLAGUE that is occurring all around the region now.  I’m not going to actually write out the word for the GH’s (just as a sort of precaution), but I will tell you that they can be described as “a hopping insect” the name of which sort of rhymes with “show-stopper.”  We have done some biological pest-control mitigation but we don’t think that asking everyone to do the hokey-pokey is an excessive precautionary measure.  Thank you!!!!

Enjoy!

Tracy
