Summer 2024 - Week 10
Up until these past couple week, not much has changed throughout our Food Forest — our trees and ground crops have continued to grow and thrive at a steady pace throughout another small heat wave and infrequent rain. Within just the past two weeks or so, many of our tomato plants have finally started to produce fruit! Although still green, these baby tomatoes are expanding at a healthy pace as more yellow flowers begin to follow suit.
Our trees are looky very bushy and happy as well!
Many of the onions that we’ve planted around the trees to serve as companion crops have sprouted tall as well!
Our new posters have survived the last several weeks as well!
And finally, a new visitor was recently seen on one of our plants — a Fiery Skipper (Hylephila phyleus) Butterfly! Look at those big eyes.
Until next time!
