A dose of sweetness

Hi everyone. Mr. Mikulski here. Just wanted to share a couple pics of yesterday's harvest. Unfortunately my phone/camera is not working, so I wasn't able to take a photo of everything I had picked and packaged, all in the back of the truck. That looked amazing, let me tell you -- ten vegetable boxes, packed to the brim, and then an extra big plastic box full of, well... extra produce, and then there were enough melons for everyone to have one -- filling in the few remaining spaces in the truck bed.

I WAS however able to make a photo once I got back from share delivery at Arrigo. Here are four remaining shares, the box of extras, and the remaining melons:

Josie-eye view -- Mmm!!!

Aerial view -- If you look closely you can guess what kind of produce Josie got her hands on

Melons are nice, huh? It's nice to have something desert-ish in the box, for a change. Here is one share up close:

I moved the mizuna greens off the top, so you could see everything in the box

The truth is that there was other stuff to harvest, too -- stuff like smaller cherry tomatoes, corn, and possibly potatoes. But since it was raining on and off during the normal harvest time yesterday, nobody else showed up to help pick stuff. I usually have at least one other adult out there with me, but no such luck this time. So I just picked as much as I could from 1:00 to 4:00 and then called it quits...

I reckon we'll keep having stuff to eat until at least mid-October -- and I don't think it's just me being optimistic. Because we're not over-fertilizing, the plants aren't getting exhausted early on. Also, I just looked at a calendar, and, geez, Harvest Week 1 turns into Harvest Week 12 so quickly. It has been a great ride so far, hope you all are enjoying it too!

Until next time!
Mr. Mikulski
