News
from the Farmers: This
week we've been transplanting cucumbers, corn, and melons-- let's
hope summer is here to stay! The grass is growing faster than our
friendly steers can eat it down, the bees are busy in the raspberry
patch, and the strawberries are starting to turn color! We just
planted the strawberries this spring, so we aren't expecting a huge
yield from each plant, but since we planted 900 of them, I figure
we'll be happy even if each plant only made a single fruit.
Meanwhile, in the greenhouses, the poor pepper plants are under
attack from whiteflies and aphids. We're thinking that salt buildup
in the soil may be stressing them out, making them more vulnerable,
so we're working on flushing the soil with extra water; in the
short-term, though, we bought a quart of ladybugs from Peaceful
Valley and released them in the greenhouses, where they are happily
chomping away on the aphids and whiteflies, giving the peppers some
relief.
