Is it monsoon season?

What a crazy spring! We have been battling the flood waters out at the farm, attempting to lay out new contours to our roads and paths so we don't lose any more of our beds. A canyon has eaten some of the cilantro bed, and some of our onions are precariously close to tipping over a precipice. We had to save some washed-out potatoes (now happily in the ground once more and growing quite well) and created some gullies to divert the raging torrents to keep any more damage to a minimum.

Perhaps it's part of a farmer's job to complain about the weather. Come August, we'll be looking to the skies for rain. A positive to the cool, wet weather is that our kale and chard are doing very well. We harvested quite a bit this morning at our space at Tuthill Farms and are very excited to have it for our customers tomorrow at the Brighton Farmers Market. Check out the Farmers Market page for more information on what we'll be having at market. Hope to see you in Brighton this weekend!
