CSA Week 2!

We had another successful CSA week with lots of yummy veggies: bok choy, salad mix (kale, totsoi, mizuna, lettuce), turnip greens, arugula, summer squash, radishes, green onions, cilantro, garlic scapes and flowers! Every Friday morning we harvest, clean and package the veggies for delivery and pick-up. Leading up to Friday's harvest we had a busy week seeding flowers, beets, turnips, radishes and transplanting sweet potatoes (featured below).We put down the black plastic covering to suppress weed growth and trap heat to help the sweet potatoes grow. We definitely prefer putting in the effort of laying down plastic so that we spend less time weeding. This week we did a lot of weeding in our broccoli beds. Our broccoli has had other visitors besides the weeds. We have blocked holes in our fence where we think groundhogs have been getting in so hopefully the broccoli bounces back!This weeks CSA:

Hoping for cooler mornings next week,
