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, Cat

As you might have seen, 55M is taking another summer to show off just how much it can grow. From the long back row of perennial lavender, sage, thyme and other flowering herbs, to the well established field of rosemary, this farm is here to stay! This year, okra, hot peppers, and more grow in the vegetable garden- where a ton of our fruiting crops goes towards donations with our partners at Food Rescue DC! This farm continues to take the bragging rights as being one of our largest pollinator farms and stays in our line of vision with hundreds of feet of native landscaping, fragrant lavender and more. Here’s to another year of great growing at 55M!

What’s your favorite part about summer in this garden?
