Well, we slipped up earlier this year and failed to start a second round of summer squash and zucchini in a timely manner, so that when our first crop succumbed to squash bugs and vine borers, the new crop would be ready to step in and take over. The result has been a high-summer gap in the availability of these squashes. It could have been worse since we didn’t forget to start them at all.
Because of the madness of the sweet corn harvest we got way too busy to be timely. Corn is past and gone with the stalks chopped down and hauled off to the neighbor’s goats. That spot of ground is now clear for round two of beans and round three (maybe round four in a month) of summer squash and zucchini.
The point of this post is to announce that our summer squashes are soon to be available again. Probably by Monday we will be having a steady harvest of yellow and green. Give us a call to come out and get yours. Don’t forget, we have okra, peppers, and a few tomatoes too, which you can come out and get this weekend. The squashes won’t be available until later next week. Stay tuned.
