Hi All! The weather has certainly been beautiful lately – plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures. The only issue for us here on the farm is that there has been no rain now for nearly two weeks. Several predicted rain events never materialized and the best chance for precipitation this week are several days offering a fifty percent chance.

Although considered a winter squash, acorn squash actually belongs to the same species as all “summer” squashes (such as zucchini and yellow squash).

Hello Folks! We received ¾ inch of precipitation in about 2 hours from the storms that passed through last Saturday afternoon. A slower, gentler rain would have been better, but we take what we can get. We have been busy transplanting and direct seeding fall crops, and a substantial rain was helpful for sprouting seeds and rooting of the seedlings. The forecast looks a bit dry for the next week, so we may need to start moving the irrigation equipment around the fields. The cool weather has been slowing down the growth of the warm weather crops, peppers, eggplant, and…
