Kelso Acres: Rain Rain Go Away...wait....what ?!?

Lately we've been having what can be considered typical weather here in Minnesota. Thunderstorms, strong winds, and humidity so high that there is condensation on the windows of your home with air conditioners working round the clock! Friday this past week was no exception, however, it was harvest day. We had to get veggies pulled and washed for our three markets the next day. Normally we are very thankful for the rains that come and give our garden a much needed drink to quench it's thirst in this heat wave we're experiencing now, but on Friday all we wished was that it could hold off for just a few hours so we could get our work done.

This past Friday we had three rounds of thunderstorms throughout the day and even lost power for awhile. Thankfully it didn't take too long to get the power up and running otherwise our produce wouldn't have looked nearly as nice as it usually does with all the sloppy wet mud clinging to it! Harvest was finally done closer to 6 pm on Friday when normally it's done around lunch time!

Gotta love it when the humidity is so high the camera lens is fogged up!

The poor table is a little over crowed as is the Prius with all the wonderful produce. I think I need to find a way to squeeze another table in the car somehow!

Ed and I enjoyed a walk through the garden this morning and I came back with muddy toes! Guess the weeding will have to wait until the soil can dry out more. We did find a few additional surprises this week in that our cauliflower is starting to produce, the sweet corn is continuing to grow nicely, okra is ready for harvest, watermelons are flowering and we have baby peppers!
