Tuesday was CSA packing day. This was the fullest box we've had so far. Green onion, garlic scapes, kohlrabi, beets, kale, napa cabbage and leaf lettuce, and some peas. Still lots of green-colored stuff. It's strange, but all the more colorful veggies (well, except for the beets) will come later in the season. After packing the boxes, we had a little more time to weed before calling it a day.
Wednesday was more field work. The morning was spent at H's dad's property, weeding the sweet corn that is there for the CSA boxes. I know she's told me WHY it's planted at her dad's, but I can't remember! We got about 3/4 of the rows weeded before lunch. Guess what will be on the schedule for next week?!?! After the corn, we did more weeding at the farm. Also, started some of the mowing to prepare for Pizza on Thursday.
Pizza Night on the 1st was a record-breaker! 142 pizzas. Phew! We did really well. We had plenty of help and things ran very smoothly. It was a long night, though! The yard areas were packed with people. There was live music, too. I think that attracted a lot of people, and kept them at the farm longer. (Good for sales of beverages, which is new this year.)
Friday was a late-start day (finished with clean up on Thursday about 10:00), and because of the holiday weekend, an early-finish day. H had plans to go to the river camping with family, but I know she really wanted to stay home and work. Some people almost have to be forced to relax!
J actually rode his bike down on Friday! Then, happily rode back home in the truck. It's good to see him and the dogs again for the weekend, and to reconnect with other family and friends.
P.S. Anyone want a rooster? This fella was actually chasing H's little boy around the yard trying to peck and claw at him. Scared Ethan pretty bad! The rooster is headed for Craig's List now!!!
