News from the garden: Alex worked at West’s last night and is at the State Fair today for state FACS (family and consumer sciences) judging. I am going to recommend to Alex that he shift to every-other week harvests until the garden begins producing more in the fall. He will contact you about this sometime later this week… half of you will pick up one week and the other half the following, so, he will harvest every week but to ½ the number of people weekly and you each will receive a harvest every other week. Product is just slow for now and should pick up later in the cool season after the hoop is installed.
This week, in your Doorstep Harvest, you will find:
