Hello,

The straight line winds last Thursday did a number At the Farm . Two large trees went down and a lot of branches. The tomato cages went over, onion tops broke off. Corn plants fell over, pea fences layed down. Its not so pretty but at least no buildings were damaged.

I'm picking peas, green beans, yellow beans, beets, candy onions, green onions, kohlrabi, leaf lettuce, parsley, basil, zucchini, cucumbers and cabbage.

TO FILL YOUR WILLOW BASKET THIS WEEK:

Home Grown Tomatoes, Raspberries, Radishes

Georgia Sweet Corn and Peaches
California Nectarines, Red Plums, Black Plums

Washington Cherries
New Jersey Blueberries
Indiana Watermelon and Muskmelon

Organic Bananas and Santa Rosa Plums

Enjoy the Summer!
Donna
