1500 K Street Garden ‘25 Summer Update

Jul 29

Notes from your farmer, Hunter:

The summer harvests are in full swing at the farm at 1500 K Street! The collard greens cannot be stopped, providing huge bundles for each harvest table, and we’ve only just seen the beginning of our jalapeño peppers. Up and coming we can expect tomatoes, sweet peppers, and a whole bunch of cayenne joining the eggplant, kale, chard, parsley, basil, and cucumbers. Our method of fighting pests includes encouraging local populations of predatory insects to eat all that would damage the food, and there’s been no shortage of ladybugs and dragonflies answering the call.
