Cleaning Up

After being away from the farm for almost two weeks things were getting a little out of control. It took a couple hours over two days but things are back to an acceptable state. Everything is doing well and there have even been some ripe tomatoes, several cucumbers, and the hot and cool peppers are popping out all over. The very first eggplant is fruiting too. Four beds have been cleared for a late season planting of lettuce, spinach and maybe a try at cabbage again.
