We are now harvesting loquat. They are the little orange tropical fruit that indicates that summer fruit is on its way. Between its fuzzy skin and smooth brown seed is sweet juicy flesh that often bring back memories of a neighborhood tree that kids were prone to frequent. Peaches are starting to show up but rather inconsistently. Some days we have them and some days we don't. It is best to call ahead. The mulberry crop has disappeared. Something has been eating them off the tree before we get a chance to pick them. We, along with many mulberry fans are very disappointed.
In the vegetable department we have a few winter vegetables from BarleyOats Farm. Their season will be ending soon. From the Otow Orchard gardens we are starting to harvest summer squash and beans. We hope to have some Asian cucumbers in a week.
