Chartreuse

Light green is fading all around this week. The Suburban Farm neighborhood had been under a canopy of clouds. The ground is saturated. Then, yesterday, everything cleared up. Temperatures climbed by ten degrees. All of the plants put on their deep green summer chlorophyll make-up and started growing fast.

This means we're in the critical period, Fellow Farmers: weeding is vital for the next month and make sure nothing gets to your plants to harm them. They're extra delicious to bunnies and other godless vermin right now. Any little scar or competition with weeds diverts energy from driving roots still deeper and sending shoots still higher.

Until next time.
