Harvesting week of July 31

It's almost August! We can hardly believe it.

The peas are now finished. Now it's on to Green Beans......yummy!

We've also got a bumper crop of Zucchini (green and yellow) and Yellow Crookneck Squash. My favorite!

Sweet corn will be ready to almost ready in two weeks.

This morning I picked a cucumber (the only one I noticed), about five inches long. Two more weeks and they'll be ready to go.

Red Potatoes are tasty and getting better. Also available: Russets, yellows and purples.

Tomatoes are coming along. If we can get the weather to warm up we'll have a great crop.

See you at the Rexburg Farmers Market, Friday's through September, or at Scottys in Rigby, Saturday mornings through August :-)

We'll have peas through the end of this week (24th) a few will still be hanging on after that, but if you want a large amount, come earlier.

Green beans should start this weekend. They're tiny now and looking like a great crop.

Red potatoes are harvesting now, and fantastic!

Zucchini and crookneck yellow squash will be ready starting this weekend.

Tomatoes are coming along.

Harvesting week of July 12

Thanks for stopping by!

We have peas ready. They will only last for approximately 10 more days, could be as many as 14 days, but sometimes it's hard to tell. Pick your own are $1.00 per pound. Already picked are $2.00 per pound

Spinach is usually available, probably for the next couple of weeks.

New baby potatoes are ready, and so good! $1.00 per pound.

Looking ahead:

Green beans should be ready starting the 20th.

Cucumbers are doing really well. Mid August is about the time for those to start.

Check back for regular updates on how the harvesting is going, and as always, feel free to share this blog with family, friends, neighbors who are looking for fresh, local garden produce. Until next week, good eating!

OK it's been a little bit longer than a month......

Haven't updated, because it rained nearly the entire month of June. Our pipe movers (children) were glad for the long break and sleeping in, in the morning.

Peas are ready! Also spinach and beets. Very soon new red baby potatoes, Yum!!

Tomato plants are doing well and survived the transplant, which can stress them out. Cucumbers are weeded and doing well, pumpkins are looking good, sweet corn is finally gaining some height. Green beans are looking good and will likely be ready in 2-3 weeks.

We have produce at the Rexburg farmer's market every friday through the summer. The market is from 4-8 P.M.

Look for more frequent updates now that Summer has decided to stick around ;-)

Feel free to pass this around to family, friends, neighbors who are looking for fresh, local produce. Thanks for stopping by!
