July 27

So hot. So humid. Hard to even think straight.

Got the CSA boxes packed somehow, though! Sweet corn, yellow squash, zucchini, cukes, cauliflower, green beans, carrots, kale and lettuce. It all looks so good! Especially now that we're getting a better variety of colors. Soon we'll be adding reds and purples, too!

After, somehow in the heat, we did some head lettuce transplants and seeded some leaf lettuce. It's supposed to rain tonight, so we wanted to get that stuff in if we could. Leaf lettuce really does not like the hot weather. In our earlier crops we could get 3 or sometimes 4 cuttings from it. The last few we've done we'll only get one before it just wilts in the heat. But, the CSA members love it, and want it. So we plant it, all summer long. When the weather starts to cool, it will be happier out there too, just like us!

Hopefully, it will be cooler tomorrow!
