Mark called this the brightest corner of the year this morning, as he poured his first of many cups of coffee for the day.  His brand of optimism isn’t easy to come by, but I’m sure thankful for it.  And, I take it as a good sign that he can stare down a series of long days like these and see the promise in them.  It gets the job done. Coffee helps, no doubt.  It is still early enough in the season that we’re genuinely pumped for the week ahead–even if they’re calling for 80+ degree weather by the week’s end.  If it is that hot outside it means that our greenhouses will be much hotter, and fortunately, sweet little Hakurei (aka Tokyo) Turnips are ready pull as are bunches of Tokyo Bekana, a looseleaf and almost lettuce-like variety of cabbage that is great for stir fries and salads. 

We're very excited to have the the first round of our beloved Wild Hare Organic Tomato Plants for sale at the farm starting this week, along with Italian Basil and a few Sugar Snap Peas!  From slicers to saucers, heirlooms to cherries, growing tomato plants for gardeners has become one of my favorite things that we do at Wild Hare, and I'm thankful that we have the opportunity to do it all again this year.  We'll have sixteen wonderful varieties to start with, potted up and ready for you to plant at home.  You can mix and match tomato plants $5 each, 3 for $13, or 5  for $20! (CSA members receive their 10% discount...its the cherry (tomato) on top!)  I'll post what we have below at the start of each week until they're gone.   So, stop on by for your plants...and grab a dozen eggs from these super duper hens while you're at it!

Spicy, Sweet, Sour and Bitter—they’re all on the menu!
