Well, way past time to update!! It is now almost July. We have been selling on Saturday at the Newport Farmers Market since the beginning of June, and this Thursday will be the second week of the Toledo Farmers Market.  The green houses are feeling jam packed and are requiring lots of TLC! So far, we have been reaping harvests of red and white kale, radishes, a variety of lettuces, and creating salad bags using the lettuces, arugula, endive, beet , radish , and brocolli rabb greens and pac choi.  The cauliflower are producing nice medium heads, the sugar snap peas are proliferating, and the red and green cabbage are shaping up.  And- TOMATOES! We have 14 varieties including heirloom and hybrid, all are setting, many are loaded already! We should be having ripe tomatoes in several weeks, it's exciting to have them earlier this year! And my oh my do we have a lot of plants! One lesson we learned this year- remove all rotten tomatoes and other seeded produce entirely from the green house.  I have been faced with a moral decision as a gardener as I go about my weeding- to pull or not to pull.  'It was not planted there on purpose, and I'm not really sure what variety it is, so do I pull it or leave it?' So many plants........
