We are half way through the season this week. The hot dry weather ended the green beans, that turned tough and hollow, which was a shame because I got one not so good picking on the late beans. The heat brought on the peppers and tomatoes. The next crop of summer squash is just now blossoming. Started in the greenhouse is the fall crop of lettuce, napa cabbage, Gonzales cabbage, and Beria cabbage, a loose leaf cabbage kind of like collards only thicker. I will seed more lettuce, Swiss chard and various greens and radishes in the ground soon and hope the crab grass slows. We are ready to put up our 20 x 50 hoop house and our new 20 x 50 greenhouse. The hoop house we will sow spinach and lettuce and plant green onions in this fall. It will be our trial year for winter production (I am pretty excited!)
