Preparing for Fall with plants and people

Salad Mix in all its glory
It happened. It's July. This is the month we think about all year. We think things like "Well, at least the truck didn't break down in JULY!" or "Well, we can think straight now, but JULY is coming". A lot happens this month, some great things, some exhausting things... a LOT of things. Many crops that we've been tending for months will begin to produce, potatoes, beans, tomatoes to name a few. New Fall fields need to planted, while existing crops will holler for our attention, "pull these weeds!" "Irrigate us!" (vegetables are very noisy this month) Our weekly routine will change so frequently that it would be silly to call any of its iterations a routine. July = Triage, plain and simple. You have to allow some small things to go wrong so that some big things go right. This year though, we're being faced with too many tough calls, more than we should be. It's clear that we need to find more people to work with us. We've been investing time the past two weeks doing phone interviews and work interviews. Inevitably some don't work out, and instead of expanding your ability to complete projects you detract from it by investing available time chasing leads that turn out to be dead ends. Such is July though. If you do know of anyone interested in a position, send em our way! Speaking of investing time... I think this is all the time I am allowed to invest in this weeks email! The celery is yelling pretty loud right now "Stop typing and weed me!" Sorry guys, this is gonna be a short one. Talk to you all in greater length next week! Hope you all had a good July 4th, and we hope to see you at the markets!
