Hello!
The fields look great but I do need to share with you some issues about plants.

The peppers need to be growing in Texas this year, not Minnesota. It is so wet and hot. We need some dry soil. Also the bees are having a hard time doing their job. I have bees at my Farm and I don’t see them a lot in my vegetable plants or flowers. It’s not your gardening, it’s the season, don’t give up.

All of America is having a hard time growing. The peaches this year have been tough to get. I have dumped more cases this season than ever. Hope next week I can have excellent ones. The East coast has had a lot of rain also. So the blueberries production is low.

The first strawberries were great. Then they too had too much rain and didn’t hold or flavor was not there. I never got a strawberry pie made. I’m not a fan of Driscoll berries.

My pickling cucumbers will be short this season. Could not get in the fields to plant.

Home grown sweet corn should be ready next week. Green beans have started. Home grown potatoes are ready, nice.

I’ll write again soon

Donna
