Today we harvested sungold cherry tomatoes, processed drying onions, I weeded carrots and helped with CSA distribution. The joy on people's faces when they pick up their veg is kind of worth all the work to get it to them.

We harvested carrots, celery, eggplant and onions, then weeded and moved irrigation a bit. It was a hot, dry, sunny day but ending up with a few pounds of loose carrots made the evening a happy one. Sharing carrots with friends and community isn't unlike sharing open source code...my roots are in both.

We harvested cabbage, celery, carrots, and basil. A surprise spider and tomato plant were encountered. Bugs are everywhere and can't be simply 'cancelled' without affecting quality, on a farm or in my homelab production code.

We harvested Alisa Craig onions, carrots, and garlic this morning then we did odd jobs like irrigation repair and bunching before packing the vehicles for markets. I also worked a bit on my local homelab and blogging infrastructure, patched a few infrequently appearing bugs, and started retrofitting my own LLMBO service to be usable as an Ollama proxy.

We weeded, planted, weeded some more, then prepared for deliveries and a CSA pickups. I am also getting better at anticipating what the farmer's priorities will be per day and how the team will be distributed to accomplish what needs to get done.
