Harvest results for the 2007 growing season.
The bad news - our eggplant was hit by flea beetles, but we're hoping they'll recover.
Some of the eggplant are doing better now, with a few getting flowers on them and even starting to fruit.
The summer squash are growing, but they take a bit longer than zucchini to mature.
We planted multiple crops of broccoli, using a heat-tolerant variety for the warmer months. More flea beetle damage, but we're hopeful.
Tomatoes are getting larger, with great walls of vegetation held up by stakes and twine.
Our farm in Grafton has a great start this year, with early plantings, cooperative weather (for once!), and many helpful volunteers to get things going. Hope is in full bloom for a great harvest this year!
We're overjoyed to welcome a new intern this year, Courtney, who is working with our team leaders along with Farm Manager Ken Dion. It's also great to have our Volunteer Coordinator Maia back for the new season!
"Thank you", also, to all our volunteers who make this effort a continuing success! Be sure to join us again this year, and help your Central Mass. neighbors and their kids!
