We had a bountiful harvest of strawberries that lasted well into July.  Here is one of our peak orders, a full 2.5 pounder!

We have been harvesting and selling tasty fresh garlic.

Golden delicious new potatoes are regularly coming out of the ground.

Salads, potatoes, snow peas, cooking onions, and herbs are being put into the Sointula Resource Centre Garden Market Stand twice a week and through direct sales on Saturdays.

The tomatoes in the greenhouse are climbing to the 10 foot ceiling and starting to produce.

There are also lots of sweet peppers growing on the other side of the greenhouse.  All the tomatoes and peppers have been grown from our very own saved seeds, which will also be for sale next February.

There are some "mini snacking" cucumbers growing as well.

 There are lots of pots of basil growing in the greenhouse path, which will make great pizza and pasta pesto.

Finally, there is the amazing "schoolbus" yellow mini tomato pushing against the ceiling of the greenhouse in the corner.

Moving into the annual garden, Carly from Mitchell Bay gave us these apple seedlings in pots that she grew from seed in her very creative driftwood greenhouse.  They will eventually be transplanted into the orchard. Thanks Carly!

Bodacious broccoli that just keeps giving!

Hundreds of yellow and red cooking onions.  We will cure and store enough for ourselves to last until next year.  We also started selling them.  The yellow and red combo bunch is a hit.

Celery, carrots, parsley.  We couldn't get our carrots to germinate, but Conner came to the rescue by showing his carrot trick in daughter Lillian's garden.  He just throws the seeds on the ground.  No fuss, no muss.  We now have lots of carrots growing.  Thanks Conner and Lillian!

Three kinds of gaaaaaahrlic.  Smash them, bash them, and throw them in your dishes, BAM!  Thanks to the super celebrity TV chef Emeril Legassi.

Beetmania in the lower bed of the annual garden.  New wood shavings on the paths from Karsten Millworks.  Thanks Lance!

Down in the orchard here are the profuse strawberry beds inter-planted among the fruit trees.  We will continue expanding the strawberry beds since the "Red Alert" was so popular in June.

The 21 blueberry bushes that we planted three years ago are slowly beginning to produce.  Fingers crossed for next year.

The apple trees have started to take off.

And the yellow plum is on its way.

Our new compost bins are rocking and rolling.  Malcolm Island Food Company have accelerated to three buckets of food scraps a week with their new storefront location downtown Sointula.  Thanks Dani and Brian!

We are now collaborating with Alexandra Morton of Slow Dog Farm to deliver even more local and organic produce to our direct sale customers on Malcolm Island. The pickup truck on Saturday is  now brimming with food for delivery.  To be put on our weekly email list for Saturday delivery send us a note at  hellofromluckyfarm77@gmail.com or phone us at  250-973-2077.

 Alexandra's cabbage was so huge that it deserved its own passenger seat and seat-belt.  More huge cabbages coming soon.
