We are right in the midst of a beautiful wind-swept, soaking rain falling upon us. We can hear the earth sing as it receives it’s most important nutritional commodity, water. We are so grateful that we now have irrigation on both sides of our farm which is intersected by Oakham Road. We purchased a 9 HP pump as well as over 700 ft of 2-inch pvc hose with 20 connectors and all the hardware necessary to turn 15-20 70 ft diameter sprinklers at one time. However, a good soaking rain from nature surely trumps any regular man-made irrigation as it nourishes the water table as well. This week is all about the night shade family, starring: the Tomato and the Pepper. In several weeks you as members and we as farmers will decry the lack Tomatoes, Peppers and Eggplant because of the inevitable change in weather, so enjoy them while you can. Our short term memory is blocked purposefully, as we burnt up 18,000 Tomato plants because of blight last year. We are thrilled to see the bountiful harvest of Tomatoes and Peppers both in the variety and quality. Please check out the lovely and delicious recipes that were posted on our recipe drop down menu by Sarah, who each week works hard at giving to you ways to best use the produce that is picked and packed for you by Heavens Harvest Farm.
