Main Season Week 7

It hasn't exactly been tomato weather, but we picked our first few pints of cherry tomatoes on Friday.  It will probably be another couple weeks before we have enough for all the shares.  It has been good pea weather and we have those for you again this week.  I spontaneously planted green beans on Tuesday.  We had eliminated them from our production plan, but what is a summer without at least one round of green beans!  That probably puts them picking around late August.  Seeding rutabagas and weeding parsnips are also on the agenda for this week.

Head Lettuce
Snap Peas
Carrots
Zucchini
Chard - Since are missing the greens on your beets, chard seemed like a natural choice.  They are closely related.  In New Zealand, white stem chard is called silverbeet and rainbow chard rainbowbeet. If you pull a mature chard plant up it has a mangle/beet root that roughly matches the stem color. 
Bulk Beets
Broccoli - large share
