With the last few bites of a warm beet salad left, I realize more and more why we do what we do. Mixed greens, romanesco, snap peas, and beets made up my lunch today, all having come from the garden. Finished the beets in the oven, topped with chevre from Haren Farms just up the prairie. Very good feeling it is, but it'll probably take me eating this way every day if I don't get some help! If anyone needs beets, chard, kale, baby carrots... let us know! Tomatoes are coming along very well, having sampled a few in the black cherry, topaz, and perhaps a tigerella. The last five days provided great heat, a little bit of free water, and now relief and shade. Could be a magical combo for our fruits. Squash, melons, and cucumbers saw rapid growth the last week as well, with some squash plants bearing fruit and some reaching almost six feet in diameter. I could reamble on for pages, but can't tell everything right now. Didn't even get to mentioning how all four types of basil are now thriving as well... Come up and say hello. Cheers, JR
