MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 34/52 of 2021
Dear Farm Members,
Our last planting of broccoli went into the ground last week, a sort of ‘beginning of the end’ that’s hard to imagine at this time of year, when smoke, heat, weeds and undone tasks loom large. We’ll be harvesting some of this broccoli, if we get it right, in the cold and rainy light of December. Shorter, slightly cooler days and lengthening shadows hint that we’re not far off from a change in season, our big reward for powering through all of summer’s challenges. Until then, we’re out here savoring all the goodness and cold watermelons that we can get. Enjoy your boxes this week!
