		<title>Doing a rain dance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are still bone dry.  I hear there has been good rain all around us, but we are in a rain shadow.  This is nice in wet years. New this week is beets.  Lots of beets.  You will be seeing beets for the next six weeks.  Let&#8217;s try to make this &#8220;blog&#8221; work like a [...]]]></description>

		<title>September 1st</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whew!!!  The heat has put a real crimp in field work.  I had planned to have new potatoes for you this week, but that may not happen. I do expect to get down to harvesting about 6 a.m., starting with chard, kale, and lettuce (that has been under constant irrigation trying to keep it sweet). [...]]]></description>

		<title>August 26th food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The beets are growing beautifully.  We will pull some small and medium ones, thinning the stand so the remaining ones will grow larger.  The greens look good. Fennel will be harvested. I have been waiting for the bulbs to plump, but they aren&#8217;t and the wonderful foliage is browning at the tips so we&#8217;ll take [...]]]></description>

		<title>August 18 CSA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lettuce this week!! I have been trialing some lettuces that are supposed to do OK in the heat, and they look nice. Different texture than my cool weather lettuces.  They are called &#8220;crispheads&#8221;, and are half way between my buttery tender cool weather lettuces and iceberg. PYO snap beans this week.  We will pick some [...]]]></description>

		<title>August 11th CSA update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We transplanted cabbage and broccoli seedlings yesterday and this evening.  Still have more plus a lot of kale for the fall.  Fall carrots and beets are looking good, mostly weed free thanks to some helpers. I am driving down to Essex Farm Thursday morning to deliver tomatoes in exchange for beets, parsley, and chard for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Disaster averted.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whew. I went out this morning to load the ducks and veggies for market, and the walkin cooler was not running and it was in the high 40s, instead of the usual 34 degrees.  I checked the circuit breakers and plug &#8211; all OK.  Packed all the poultry in lots of cold packs and headed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fried squash blossoms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maybe sauteed squash blossoms sound better? Saw a surplus of really nice male squash blossoms at the edge of the winter squash field this evening, so just had my first stuffed squash blossoms of the season. Stuffed some with chevre, some with Parmesan, dipped in egg and flour, then sauteed in olive oil. Yummm.  10 [...]]]></description>

		<title>When it rains&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At this point, I&#8217;ll take it.  It has been SOOOOOO dry. Ideally we would get an inch to 1 1/2 inches of rain each week, preferably in one day. Sprinkles encourage disease but don&#8217;t provide much water. Tuesday was quite muddy in the field after 1.2&#8243; of rain.  The boots get really heavy.  About 5:15 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do you like??</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Look over to the right navigation bar, in the Pages list.  I am toying with rearranging information, and adding more recipes.  There are two new pages &#8211; Broccoli and Summer Squash and Zucchini.  If you like this, I will make a listing of the things we grow and a similar description with recipes. And for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wow, July is gone already!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is hard to realize the summer is moving by so quickly.  I can see it in the field though.  I see rows of new seedings &#8211; beets, carrots, broccoli family, etc, &#8211; for fall. We push many of our favorites to produce in the summer, but they really prefer the cooler fall weather &#8211; [...]]]></description>
