Golden Swiss Chard & Golden Fireflies to be seen here in the Month of June
Hello to everyone as we have made it into the month of June, and thus here soon to be summer. Since writing last, it seems as if the "Heat that was On" then has for certain decided to stay. Despite the extremely warm days the evenings have offered a well needed reprieve from the heat and we hope everyone has appreciated the pleasant evenings and fireflies! Speaking of golden lights, you can find some golden colors at our On-Line Produce Store by way and means of purchasing some Golden Chard Bunches mixed with the beautiful Red color of the Ruby Red Chard. To go along with the Chard Bunches, you will also find Lettuce Heads, Borage, and Eggs.
In light of all the damage that was done here by the flood, we feel as if the fields and landscapes are slowly but surely starting to look back to normal. Our cover crops of buckwheat and sorghum are growing on up and creating young lush carpets of green. Hills are popping out sweet melon, watermelon, cucumber, winter squash, summer squash, marigold, radish, dill, and basil seedlings. Rows of beans and tomatoes are on there way, soon to be followed by the peppers plants, eggplants, sunflowers, and okra seeds. It for sure has been a month of repair and fixin, but I will say we are getting there.
We hope you will try some of the tasty greens by ordering at the on-line store and that we will be seeing you on Wednesday the 9th for delivery at Elmington Park or On-Farm Pick-up.
Thanks so much...Arugula's Star Farm
