Figs and Onions






















The Suburban Farmer has been traveling so there has been a lapse in recording all the activity on the Suburban Farm. However we have crossed a significant weight goal of over 300 lbs. We are now in the hot Dog Days of summer with temperatures in the high 90's. There has not been much rain. The New Farmer has been watering every other day

The cherry tomatoes have been producing pretty well. I am starting to get some more of the heirloom tomatoes.  Some plants that do really well in the heat such as okra, eggplant and peppers.
Here is a picture of Walla Walla Onions. They were sent to us in the mail. Apparently these large sweet onions are a Vidalia Onion equivalents of the west.
Figs are the fruit of moment.  The New Farmer picked 4.5 KG of figs yesterday. These figs are large, sweet and delicious. Of course when you have this many figs you have to share them with neighbors, colleagues at work and strangers. I will plan to make some fig preserves this weekend.

There are 7.533 KG to add to the total with more than 5 KG of this is figs.

This brings the produce weight to total of 303.25 LBS.
