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
The rooftop farm at 333 John Carlyle has been buzzing with activity! As the temperatures have risen, so too have the weights of all the produce that comes clunking down the stairs and into the lobby. The sweet peppers and eggplant have been unstoppable, and the succession planting of cucumbers is sure to keep the table stocked through the rest of the season.
What’s your favorite part about summer in this garden?
Nothing beats a sweet pepper as a quick snack, and this farm has sweet peppers to spare!

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.
