August already.  All varieties have passed second and final CFIA seed potato inspection, so all the tops are coming off now. We’ll aim to have everything in  over the next 3 weeks. Here is a picture of me and mom taken by Nathalie Langmann, the organizer of Slow Food Cycle Sunday.  

Find our potatoes at the Pemberton market on Fridays under the barn in town. Becca of Sunnybrook Farm is selling them alongside some beautiful flowers and vegetables.

Farmstand: OPEN! Lots of potatoes and Rootdown Farm organic vegetables- tomatoes, cukes, carrots, hakuri turnips, spinach, arugula and greens, radishes, green onions, cooking onions, carrots. 

Here we are about to cut the tops off the beautiful potatoes. We do this so that the skins set and the potatoes will store longer into the spring for planting. It’s mentally hard to cut down gorgeous plants like this.

Potatoes are coming up nicely. Carrots, beets and parsnips are seeded and germinating. It’s super hot and quite muggy and there are mosquitos. Perfect potato weather?
