After a burnout July day hauling in the garlic I got to harvest these beautiful beets in thunder and lightning. They’re electric and they’re coming to market tomorrow so come show me some love and all the other badass farmers at the @willifarmersmarket Saturday morning from 8-12 at the @willimantic_whitewater park. #ilovebigbeetsandicannotlie

Chop n drop-ing the bush beans and taming the understory of wood sorrel and clover so the baby fig trees (and eggplants that are intercropped with them) have more airflow and to keep the soil covered and fed. The butterfly weed and calendula- well I can’t turn away a pretty volunteer 😉 #notill #hightunnelgrowing #figtree #whitemarseillesfig #intercropping #gardenunderstory

More tomato 🍅 spam! #sorrynotsorry

This is my first year growing in a high tunnel, and the EARLIEST I’ve EVER had tomatoes. These tomato plants (x400! I might have gone off the deep end) have sapped up so much of my labor and love since February. Weekly pruning and trellising for what seems like forever (really by the time I finish all of them, the ones I started with are ready again) but it’s all worth it to have an armload of Pineapple and Weisnichts Ukrainian slicers in early July.
