I ate a very delicious banana pepper from a Front Porch Farmer's plot this morning. The Front Porch Farmers that are watering have good looking plants with lots of blooms, forming fruit and in some cases big fruit. It seems that we are experiencing some fusurium wilt both in our garden and FPF plots. It doesn't seem to be bad, but we will see.
Speaking of plant problems, the horseradish is hosting harlequin bugs and they will need to go. We've also had some carnage from human pests - peppers smashed and plants broken as well as flowers pulled up and blooms plucked just to be left on the ground. This always makes me sad and frustrated.
We try to educate, we try to share and such blatant waste and disregard is always disheartening.
Ah, the life of a farmer.
On a positive note, we had our first ever garlic harvest this morning at GSB and about 8 plants produced. They are now drying in the office! Yum and they smell so good. Yee haw!!!
