Warm-Weather
Crops Are Here!
The heat-loving favorites are rolling in, eggplant, cucumbers, peppers, and basil are all producing great yields at the Harvest Tables this summer. None of it happens without help though: bees and other pollinators have been buzzing from bloom to bloom all season, doing the essential work that makes every harvest possible!
a Note from your farmer, HUNTER
Boasting over 50% more growing space than last season, the garden at 1201 New York Avenue is pumping out vegetables. Tomatoes and peppers have been standout crops this year, but not to be outdone by the eggplant and cucumbers. The bi-weekly Harvest Tables have been a stunning array of colors from rainbow chard to the deep purple eggplant to the bright reds of sweet peppers and tomatoes. It has been such a delight to fill these tables with the garden’s bounty for the building tenants!

Did you know?
Basil is part of the mint family, which is why it grows so fast and fills out so quickly once the weather warms up. It's also one of those rare herbs that actually tastes better the more you use it: regularly pinching off leaves and flower buds encourages the plant to grow bushier and produces even more flavorful leaves all season.
