Good Bye Greens, Hello Tomatoes and Summer Squash!
June has arrived in Central Florida. Time to fill your kitchens with young tender zucchinis and tomatoes before the humid summertime air sets in. One nice thing about farming here in the south is that we get to grow squash and tomatoes again in the fall! So, we get a second harvest before we get our fall greens going. The mornings are still nice enough to do clean up around the farm. There are drip tapes to pull out, vines to cut away from our deer fence, wild primrose to pull and use for compost building. We just finished planting out all our hibiscus sabdariffa plants. It feels great to have that done, all those holes dug and filled with sifted compost, and then setting in the plants with care so they transition with as little stress as possible. The last of the hibiscus plants actually get set in the old lettuce beds in between lettuces going to seed.
