This week's restaurant visit was from
The Heights. I wasn't able to take pictures but I swear it happened. They helped pick cucumbers and learned a thing or two about what goes into growing real good food.
Harvest
Cucumbers and Tomatoes are in full swing. Zucchini and Squash are slowing down but still need to be picked every few days.

Production and Distribution
 |
| Delivery to Grillfish |
 |
| Delivery to The Pig |
We hosted a different kind of production at the farm this week. Chris here is a local sound designer for the theatre. He came out Wednesday to volunteer and loved the sound of the farm so much he came back on Sunday to record it and do a little more work. The birds, crickets, breeze and Bees of EatWell Natural Farm may appear on a stage near you in the future.

Cultivation and Maintenance
 |
| Sugar Baby Watermelon |
The rain we were so inundated with has fallen off the map. This whole week the showers have missed us or been only a drizzle. So, I've been irrigating. Things like these Watermelons and Cantaloupe need the water to fill out.

| Snow Leopard Cantaloupe |
 |
| Vine Bore Damage |
Some of our Squash and Zucchini have fallen victim to vine bores. They are the caterpillar of a stout dark grey moth with hairy red hind legs. They lay eggs on the vine. When the eggs hatch the larvae burrow into the vine at soil level and eat it from the inside. You don't know this has happened until you see the whole plant wilt at once. By then it is usually too late to save it.
I had another great volunteer this weekend. Suzi helped harvest and weed and we put this row cover over two rows of newly seeded brassicas to keep out pests.
Planting
Finally got some more planting done this week. Chris helped me plant some Arugula, Kale, Lettuce, Chard and Beets. Thanks Chris!
