Accuweather for June – two mostly sunny, one partly
sunny, two partly cloudy, four cloudy, the rest showers and rain. Not good
with late blight in the region (and confirmed downy mildew on our fall seeded
onions). No way I can keep copper on my ¾ acre of potatoes, especially after
they fill in. Sweet potato slips arrived yesterday. A week of highs in the 60s
and lows in the 40s. Maybe I’ll put 1000+ slips in plug trays and start
them in the hoophouse (like I have time for that). On the plus (but kind of scary side), my CSA went from 76
last year to 90 this year. And the dry spring was wonderful for field work. Beth Spaugh http://rhomestead.com
