Howdy, Misfit Members! Happy Thursday! Here's what's ripe for the pickin' this week:

-Broccoli

-Snap Peas

-Salas Mix

It's definitely a squash week! I might have ignored my zucchini plants a few days over the weekend, and mayyy have had an entire gator-bed full of baseball-bat size zukes. Whoops!! Oh well, at least the chickens enjoyed them!

The first and second planting of the sweet corn are really growing! The third planting has sprouted, and is just a couple inches tall.

Up the hill in the plastic rows, it seems something is making a snack of our popcorn. I tied some noise-making ribbon on every other stalk, so hopefully that puts an end to it!

And y'all, I am up to my ears in green tomatoes. I am very impatiently waiting on the darn things to turn red- surely to goodness we will have some by next week!

I believe that's all for this week! Have a great week and don't forget to wash your produce!
