Its not the heat its the humidity

Another week has passed, and unfortunately the last few days have felt like the middle of summer. I don't think it is the heat... it is the humidity. Everything is doing well at the farm. We spent most of the week working on the garlic patch pulling weeds, but we did however get a few other things accomplished. We bumpde up oregano into larger containers about 200 of them. We planted about 2000 sweet corn seeds, 2000 beans, radishes, and okra this week. We also sprayed all of our crops with BT (a harmful bacteria to worms). Giving back to our community... we donated about 250 plants to the community garden at First Weslyean Church in Kannapolis, along with several thousand seeds. It is a partnership we are proud of. Besides familieshelping themselves, our plot at the garden and the churches plots produce will go directly to those in need, to the people who need it the most, and that means a lot to us. We as Americans get caught up in consumerism, and we forget there are plenty of people within our own communities who are less fortunate than us and need help and sometimes those people are our neighbors whom we seldom have time for. We are all in a big hurry most of the time, but sometimes we need to slow down in life, and be thankful for all the blessings we have. Our CSA starts up on Tuesday, and we are ready to provide our customers with the finest local organic produce for the next 30 consecutive weeks (which I believe takes us up through Thanksgiving time). Oh, and the sugar snap pea will be ready to start being harvested this weekend, that is as long as they make it out of the field and not into our mouths. We tend to call that process "Quality Control".
