Imagine the scene: It is early in the morning… Mark is basking in the lowlight (and temperature) of the time prior to the heat. Chef Alex Young strolls to the backyard (our massive garden) and sips a steaming cup of coffee. He tells Mark that he had a dream (I see a patten here..) that he had potatoes ready under ground. Mark, not ready to contemplate potatoes in his harvest list, hesitates. However, and this only further proves that my boss is far too prophetic, hesitation may set itself aside. We have potatoes, and we have a one Chef Alex’s sixth sense to thank for that. Kennebecks and Pontiacs. Ready to serve. Come and get ‘um.

Joanie, Steve (first time visitors today!), Mark the great, and me, Stella. Chef is on the roof.

This lettuce is some really beautiful tasty stuff. There are two types that I mentioned early in the blog, Austrian Florenschuss (the maroon and green speckled) and Israeli Jericho. Both seem to due really well in hot weather. We were told that they were bolt resistant, and they are. They will be served this crazy Art Fair week as a Cornman Farm Greek Salad. We cleared out one hodgepodge row that Mark and I threw together, and came up with…

More roof climbing. You can see the third round of cucumbers in the light area by the tree, at the far right we have the massive tomato plants, peppers in the middle, and carrots, leeks, onions, and corn at the end. Plus a lot more squeezed in.
