The Tomatoes are Coming (& Peppers)

6/13/2019

The grass keeps growing and growing and growing. It and the weeds are doing their best to take over the plots. The heat has been turned up a notch, which the tomatoes and peppers love! The chickens don't like the heat as much but it brings out the bugs, which they do like!

Bed preparation and weed control are still the biggest obstacles that hold me up (and all the little plants waiting in flats) but a big addition should help with one directly and the other indirectly!

As always, the lettuces are a weekly harvest, fresh and crisp, and the radishes an turnips are making an appearance!

The upside to getting up before dawn is watching the morning mist grow and shift across the valley. The river is just the other side of the field from my house and it helps supply the cool, moist air that settles in just before dawn (and usually frosts just to keep things interesting)

Some farm helpers are tiny, like this ladybug. It, and more importantly its young, are feasting on the aphids that have taken hold of the lupine in the wildflower patch. As it gets too much for the plants, these little warriors move in to devour the pests and protect the plants!

The tomatoes are blooming with fruit not far behind. This is the first year I get to really use (and appreciate) my dome greenhouse. I wouldn't be able to grow anything as heat loving as these without it!

and peppers too!
