Sweet corn ?

I'm sorry, no corn for the weekend
   Next week looks good
Thank you for your patience

Melons

Melons 

 First there's 10, then 20, then I pick every 12 hours and try my best to stay ahead of them 

 Nice selection this week.  5 varieties 

  I'll be at Mother Earth gardens, Longfellow,  Wednesday 3-6pm 

 Mill City farmers market 8-1 Saturday 

 Tomatoes, melons, perhaps a bit of corn 

Please no preorders this week.   It's difficult to wrap my head around getting all this harvested and to market and taking all necessary precautions. 

  I appreciate people's patience and kindness

Sweet Corn

Sweet Corn 

  I guess sooner or later I've got to bring up the corn 

 This spring I took a webinar from the university.  They suggested household or family units for work crews to minimize the risk of spreading covid.   Immediately I thought of the brothers Lee.    You may never meet them, however, as you enjoy the corn, you might want to thank them in your hearts.    They were good sports, hard workers, and walked just about every row of corn and there's a crop out there to harvest because of them. 

    The dry weather made for slow uneven germination of the first plantings; I think the first ripe corn will be August 1st.

    There's a few melons getting ripe.   Just a few for weds and hopefully a few more for Saturday 

     I'll be at Mother Earth Gardens,  Longfellow,  Weds 3-6pm 

 And the Mill City Market Saturday 8-1pm 

Tomato sales have been really good, brisk.

Thank you.  

   I appreciate everyone's generosity.

My life is tomatoes

I'm not obsessed with tomatoes and I don't eat them 4 times a day 

 I'll be to Mother Earth gardens (Longfellow), Wednesday, 3-6pm with a truck load 

 Saturday at the Mill City market too.   

10$ for 2lb trays 

 40$ for 10lb box of mixed 

They're beautiful.   You might want to come by just to gaze upon them

Tomatoes! 

 Tomato season is here and I have a really really nice crop.  17 varieties; heirloom and hybrid tomatoes 

    Unfortunately, because of the covid, I lost a very good mid week market; Wednesdays at the university of Minnesota, closed for the season.... I used to sell a lot of tomatoes there.

  Thankfully,  Mother Earth gardens in Longfellow is going to host me Wednesdays starting July 15th,  3pm-6pm.

    You can preorder if you'd like, or you can just swing by the store and pick some up. 

I'll be selling 2lb trays for $10   As we get further into the season I'll have 10lb boxes at a lower price per lb if you want some for roasting or canning. 

   If you want to preorder, just send me an email.

   And, for sure I'll have tomatoes Saturdays at the Mill City Market too   

 Saturdays 8-1pm.

 Probably no need to preorder for the mill city market this week.   I expect to have quite a few tomatoes 

  Thank you Steve Nodgaard for the nice photo
