This is a busy time
of year for many reasons… we are bringing in the majority of our harvest,
Philip helping to combine for a local farmer, we are getting ready for Open
Farm Day and of course our kids are going back to school this week!
The gardens continue
to grow well however we have had a fairly significant attack of flea beetles!
They love plants like kale and other brassicas and can reduce a beautiful lush
plant to a skeleton within hours. We are hearing from other farms that we are
not alone as many others are suffering the same fate. Flea beetles typically
only are an issue in the spring an we haven't been troubled with them in the
late summer before. While there are chemical responses that could be used there
are very few natural remedies so … no
kale this week!
