Dear 2011 CSA Members,
We will not have a delivery this Saturday, August 13. The intense triple digit heat and drought continues with no end in sight according to the weather forecast. The crops cannot produce anything with this heat--it is physiologically impossible. We continue irrigating trusting that soon the heat and drought will break and the crops can start producing.
We continue weeding the sweet potatoes-----should finish all 35 rows today. The crop looks good. As long as we can irrigate them with the blessing of the Lord they should produce a bountiful harvest of potatoes in mid-October. We will apply a second organic foliar spray to the sweet potatoes tomorrow as well as to the okra and squash.

We are doing everything that we can do to encourage crop production.
Next Saturday we will for sure bring 2 baskets of onions----but if the heat continues there won't be any vegetables for the coolers.
Best Regards,
Gene
