Don’t let the date bother you. At High-Fence Farm we don’t believe in luck, good or bad. Look up the word providence. That’s the word here.
As crops come in and out, we thought an update would be in order about now.
- Corn is done. We had a wonderful sweet corn crop this year, but alas it has ceased.
- As the corn has been getting cleared away we have been sowing winter squash and pumpkins in that space. This year we will not offer the acorn squash or the classic Jack-O-Lanterns, only Butternut, Honeyboat, Baby Hubbard, Spaghetti, and Royal Prince squash; and Cinderella and Jarrahdale pumpkins.
- Squash, both yellow and zucchini, are about done. In fact the zucchini is gone completely. Don’t fret however, we planted a second (and third) planting that will begin to bear in a couple of weeks. We should have plenty by the first of August.
Cucumbers are about in the same category as our squash. We are getting a couple of small picklers (Kirbies Mrs. Farmer calls them), but a new row has been started. The seed isn’t up yet but we are looking for it every day.- We do have TONS of peppers, sweet and hot. We even have a few of the infamous Carolina Reapers.
- Green beans–we have a few.
- Eggplant–we have quite a few.
- Tomatoes are coming in slowly, but we have some.
- Okra has finally begun to put out like it is suppose to for this time of year.
Come see us. For best results call ahead, please.
