August Farm Part 1

 So far in August, we have cherry, heirloom & hybrid tomatoes, basil, potatoes, cucumbers, peppers, melons, winter squash, garlic, microgreens, sunflowers, cut flowers, butternut squash & various winter squashes. We just got another three inches of rain in four days and we are looking forward to drier, cooler weather.
