It looks like another bumper crop of watermelons again this year! We have planted Crimson Sweet, Lantha, Charleston Grey and two types of seedless melons. Crimson Sweet and Charleston Grey range in size from about 15 to 35+ pounds and the Lantha from 7 to 15 pounds. Our seedless, which will be ready in a few days will likely be in the 7 to 20 pound range. We also are continuing to pick the first patch of our deliciously sweet muskmelon. It looks like we will be through with this patch late next week. Our second patch should start right before Labor Day. One thing to keep in mind is our sweet corn. Since we have such a good supply right now, we have a limited time quantity special of 3 dozen for $10. Since the ears are big, only about 3 dozen will fir in the bushel. If you are freezing or canning the cut off corn, the large size will make the job easier. It also is very sweet corn, with our Mirai type being the sweetest corn we grow. Also, we now have Sugar Pearly for those white corn lovers!

About Me
I have been involved in lateral thinking most of my life. While lateral thinking is sometimes referred to as "thinking outside the box" it does differ in several subtle respects. I became interested in the electronics field when I was in 6th grade and received my Master of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology. I have written and have had published numerous articles, especially in the electronics field, and two electronic related books. I also have written a juvenile science/craft book on making cool contraptions. As you may expect from a lateral thinker, I am multifaceted in my interests. In addition to my electronic design background, I am the Workshop Editor for Boys' Quest and Fun For Kidz magazines and own and operate Magicland Farms where, along with my wife and 6 children, grow, a wide variety of fruits and vegetables on our 65 acre farm. You can find out more about me by reading my blog posts and visiting my two websites: www.magiclandelectronics.com and www.magiclandfarms.com.

Would like to enquire when your canning tomatoes will be ready and do you know what the price for a bushel?
Thank you
Hi Sandra,
We are now picking canning tomatoes and their price is $8 a half bushel. We also have Romas (aka Italian, plum, paste) tomatoes for $12 a half bushel.
