Well, unbelievably, the summer solstice is here. Today is the longest day of the year and the official first day of summer. Every day from here out will be a march towards winter. “Farm time” seems always mindful of the future, and in our minds it’s as if the season is rapidly slipping away. It is too late (I’ve been told) to plant corn, beans and winter squash–they simply won’t reach maturity before the rains come. Yet, Fat Cabbage Farm still has a solid four months of growing to do. Our crops are really looking great these days and we are proud of the work we have done. Some highlights…
Early transplants of broccoli, cabbage and leeks have been harvested and delivered to Flea Street Cafe.
Our strawberries have turned red and deliciously sweet. More and more come off of the plants every week.
Our first direct sowings of beets, carrots and cilantro have matured and we have begun harvesting.
Tomato fruits are forming on the vine and the cabbages are indeed getting fat.
