The flail mower is such a beautiful machine… we have been way… way… way behind getting this field flipped for either fall planting or a cover crop. Thanks to the wet July and sunny August; the spring beds were a jungle of 6’ pigweed and other weeds… One or two passes to get close to ground; quick round of rock picking before scalping as low as possible. Now ready for tillage. We’re going to pay for the delayed attention with weed pressure next season; yet with a bit of work these beds will be ready to plant within a week. Some of these beds were ready for mowing the final week of July. Alas. Upside to weeds is they will add a bit of quick digesting organic matter to feed the microbes. First photo is post flail mowing and second is an example of weed growth before…

It’s been dry most of August; after a very, very wet July. So we’ll take tonight’s rain as a blessing. Just coming into the brief heavier rain. More on the way Tuesday > Thursday they say. A 20 sec clip Saturday evening recorded at a quarter to eight; after harvesting cilantro. Sound on if you enjoy the bugs… getting dark rather early these days.

I don’t personally go hot hot for peppers… Nordic blood lines perhaps or midwestern upbringing. Yet we typically grow a few for folks that do; Ghost peppers just starting to hit maturity. Best for hot sauce at this level of heat or dried I reckon.

Tasti Lee II planted into a fieldhouse; delicious and pretty variety with zero resistance to leaf mold. Good fruit set and harvest nonetheless. And quality in the early maturing fruit has been decent despite the leaf condition. TBD whether it gets dropped from future fieldhouse plans.

Been a summer. Couple of albums made their way into the 2026 transplanting rotation. Flyte has been an anchor since spring. Closing out the night… & a photo from earlier this evening. https://open.spotify.com/track/2VHPAFQqjyFY3ERixzA8OI?si=lAuPzPI3ThG9I3xlAR0oUA&utm_source=copy-link&pi=i-60ODoyQ2e5-

Scenes from the farm from last 48 hrs.. lettuce harvest continues to crank. We typically sell 80-100 heads per day in the peak summer months. These are Muir & Magenta; heat tolerant “French summer crisps or Batavian heads” Keep em fresh using wet burlap - which allows for evaporative cooling to maintain quality. Sunshine kabocha coloring up for September harvest. Ended the day with an evening transplant session; setting ~1500 heads in the ground for harvest in late September.
