“Experience is not what happens to you — it’s how you interpret what happens to you.”
~ Aldous Huxley

Farmer notes:
- No Flex Share delivery this week
- We had a couple of back-to-back storms this week – the latter with 75 mile an hour winds.
Here is the damage:
– many limbs down including 2 from a standard apple tree
– around 10% of bell pepper plants broken off at ground level
– around 5% of the sweet corn is down and irrecoverable
– many apples off of the trees - Actually not horrific, as I thought it would be worse
- We need the soils to dry out so we can plant crops for the fall!
- Make a cucumber and dill salad or dilly beans this week
- Make a slaw with cabbage, cucumber, scallion and radish
- Next week we have new red potatoes, mini tomatoes and Hungarian wax peppers
- Wash all of the produce and please return our boxes/ice packs
