What’s Happening on the Farm

Finally some much needed rain!  The first crop of green beans was beginning to stop flowering, but hopefully the rain will bring them back to life.  Everything has perked up a bit since Monday nite's rain.  Most of the broccoli has finished producing the main head but side shoots will continue to mature.  The first cauliflowers are ready to be harvested.  Tomato plants are absolutely loaded with green tomatoes, just waiting to turn red.  We are still waiting on the sweet corn as well.
The main greenhouse is being cleared out to get ready for the fall plantings of spinach, carrots and winter greens.  The pea beds are being cleaned out for some outdoor fall plan things of carrots, broccoli and lettuce.  All of the onions will be pulled out of the garden and put on racks to dry in a shed.  Garlic bulbs will also be dug and dried.  It's starting to feel like the end of summer already.
