Summer Succession Planting
Our recent round of seeding in the greenhouse is showing beautiful germination! This round is made up of some crops that are currently already growing and being harvested in addition to some later summer varieties. Every season we typically plant multiple successions of the same crops in order to ensure a continuous supply throughout the season. This recent round included bunching onions, roselle, various herbs, zinnias, zucchini, cucumbers, and Korean melons. They have a couple more weeks to go in the greenhouse before we get them planted in the field!
Is there a more classic summer pairing than tomatoes and basil?! We currently have both in season at the Farm Stand for your summer recipes. We recommend trying a classic caprese salad or a fresh tomato basil sauce. If you want to preserve the flavor of summer, we highly recommend scooping up a few bunches of basil and making a large batch of pesto (recipe here). Pesto can easily be frozen for use throughout the year! We highly encourage you to take advantage of both of these items as tomato season is rapidly winding down due to the summer heat.
In Season at the Farm Stand: Cantaloupe, Watermelon, Cucumber, Long Beans, Okra, Eggplant, Tomatoes, Zucchini, Jalapenos, Bell Peppers, Shishito Peppers, Poblano Peppers, Cornito Peppers, Lunchbox Peppers, Carrots, Basil, and Flower Bouquets and Stems
