Speaking of open fields.... in order to try and ensure that there will
be one, I just spent 8 hours in them trying to get everything watered.
You have a new appreciation for just how big 3/4 of an acre is when you
have to try and hand water it! :-) I've got about another 12 hours of
watering and weeding to do yet to make sure they are in decent shape for
the event.
Things are looking pretty good. Again, there isn't a whole lot of any
one variety but there are a fair amount of chiles. 1/4 of the field is
dedicated to habs (Red S, orange, red Caribbean). About the next most
plentiful chile will be Purira, Bolivian Rainbow, New Mex, Tabasco, and
Pasilla. There'll also be a fair number of mutant jalapenos in a small
patch adjacent. Maps of the field indicating variety location will be
available, courtesy of my landlord.
I also talked at length with my landlord. I'll be trying to get a list
of the stuff he has available up at the farm market, along with prices.
I'd be more than happy to make a run up there to pick up orders should
anyone feel the need to get some apples, apple cider, melons, pumpkins,
etc.
