Continuing Heat Shifts Peak Season

Zaid relayed the following this morning:

The heat wave we have had has shifted our peak season by about 2 weeks so you will be getting melons now instead of in late August. In fact, some of our melon varieties will be done this week. As with everything every week and every season brings on new challenges and nothing is the same. Last week we got a message from cooperative extension that late blight was found in Chenango County.

 

Ramadan started today and the Egyptian crew is both happy and anxious as they will have to work in this heat [without eating or drinking!]. It looks like it will cool down for us some however. Fordham will be joining us for the fall and Farmshare will be advertising the winter share already..what happened to summer???
