Week 6: August 18

While most people are loving these cool days, some of us farmers are looking for a little warmer temperatures. The cool and cloudy days slow down some of our sumer crops, especially the tomatoes. Also there's nothing like working 8 hours on a hot day! But the cooler weather has been great for the fall crops, the lower soil temperatures mean that our seeds for crops such as lettuce and spinach are finally able to germinate. Despite the lower temperatures there is an abundance of those summer crops in your box this week:
