Six weeks ago...
Present...same field! Quite exciting, we will be harvesting our first field tomatoes in the next couple of weeks.
April 1st.
July 1st! We already pulled off ~100lbs of Heirloom Tomatoes. As you can see with the previous picture this structure is new on the farm. This is the High Tunnel which is home to ~360 tomato plants with eggplant, peppers and basil along the edges. Rachel (the woman I work for and who I give thanks to everyday) had a dream to have early tomatoes, once her and Guy (his family owns the property and has been in apple production for many years) announced their marriage last summer they decided to say 'no' to the online wedding registry. Instead they asked for money in order to buy a home for Rachel's dream. Now everyone throughout Chelan is able to enjoy the early bounties of the precious heirloom tomatoes.
'Knee high on the 4th of July'. Our first succession of corn is an early season crop and is definitely beyond knee level.
Basil. This batch yields ~ 7lbs/wk.! We have been selling it to a local couple in town who makes salsa.
The first of the melons.
