It's been an enormously productive few weeks in the field with all this sun shining down on us - what an amazing window of opportunity on the farm at this planting-intensive time of year! I'm equally grateful to see that the rain is returning in earnest this coming week. Everything could use it: the creek, the pasture, the newly-planted seedlings, and the farmers who have been going non-stop for the past few weeks. We hope to have all of our onions in the ground by week's end (all 16,000 of them), as well as all the potatoes (4000 row feet, or 1/3 of an acre), plus our next weekly wave of broccoli, lettuce, and carrots. And then come Saturday, ahhhhhhhhhhh, let it rain. Maybe I'll sleep in.

There's a good chance you'll see artichokes in your share next time; they are just starting to pop (a few weeks later then in recent years). I'm relishing our new patch, which we established last year in an effort to renovate our original artichoke plants. They are healthy and vigorous and I'm hoping for a bumper year. Better stock up on butter and mayo and get ready for some dipping! :)

Have a great week, eat lots of salad, be outside all that you can!
