WOW!

Exactly two months after the last picture the difference is amazing.  We have been harvesting twice a week and sometimes more to keep up with the abundance of produce growing in the hoop house.  The tomatoes require ladders to continue to trellis them, we can no longer reach high enough to clip the tomato clips on.  The cucumbers are growing well and we have a good market for our squash blossoms. 
We are learning about succession planting this season in order to have a constant supply of produce for our customers.
