The next planting of Silver King sweet corn matured enough so that Randy picked two bushel baskets this morning. Now that is only about ten dozen and there is more to pick. Depending on the demand we may have corn all day.  The sugar snaps peas are coming on and we hope to have them on the farmstand by the weekend.  The strawberries are getting larger and more numerous and each day we have more. The early girl tomatoes are loaded and they did not crack with all the rain. The red ripe paste tomatoes are picked down for now. You can find lots that are half ripe however the peak has past and the ones ripening now will be the last of the best picking in this field.  In other words don't wait to long if you want them. The cherry tomatoes cracked with all the rain, as usual. There is still many tomatoes out in the patch to pick. It is a good time to come if you want a mixture of varieties. We have other fields of tomatoes planted and growing for the green tomato crowd. We expect to have them into October.

The farmstand is also stocked with our fresh picked vegetables which include summer squash, zucchini, onions, garlic, twisted carrots, many types of tomatoes, sunflowers and bouquets.  We have 3 different potatoes from the Root Cellar Farm in Northwood.

I will not be at the Northwood farmers market today, thursday.The farmstand will be open at the farm until 6pm as usual. Randy and I lost a dear friend and we will be at the calling hours this afternoon.

Tomorrow, Friday, after 4 or 5pm we will be back from the funeral and will be setting up for the fair with other volunteers.
