News from the Farm
This week we went to Deerfield Supplies in Kentucky to pick up a few new items. We are very excited to be the proud owners of 3 new hoes: Misty, Julia and Dusty. We picked up some new hoses and some other little odds and ends for the irrigation system. Also, we purchased some Surround (Organically Certified) which is a Kaolin Clay product the creates a film of fine clay on the plants to discourage munching bugs. We are adding this to our arsenal of Pest Management- they are brutal.
Adam and Nick scored some fantastic Donkey Manure that was added to the Fall fields and side dressed the Tomatoes and Tomatillos. The ole blue Dump Truck is pulling its' weight.
The heat is bringing on all kinds of veggies! We hope that you all are faring the heat as well.
Have a great week!
