Sora Farm Newsletter-Vol.101
It is still August, but really feels like fall now. Look how leaves are turning yellow. Too bad for cucumber lovers. Hovering dragon flies were replaced by chirping crickets. Above all, I feel fall when I feel cool temperature in early evenings. Last week’s average temperature at 6pm on Gabriola was 18 degrees Celsius, and,…

Sora Farm Newsletter-Vol.99
When we lived in a city, “back to school” advertisement in shopping malls was the sign of getting closer to the end of summer. Here on our farm, it is the cool temperature I feel as soon as the sun hides behind tree canopies, loud crickets chirping in the evenings, my shadow gets longer when…

Which type of hat do you wear when you work outside on a hot day? For me it has been a baseball cap on most days because it is light and was just my habit. And then a couple of weeks ago when it was super hot, I literally became sick…. After I worked hours…

Have you touched the surface of cucumber leaves and felt fuzzy stuff on them? As we wrote before, we have Suyo Long cucumber plants both in greenhouse and outside.

A few weeks ago, I was sowing lettuce seeds in trays and realized it will be the end of summer when I harvest these lettuces. Growing season goes so fast and it is still very difficult for me to make a crop plan properly so that we have sufficient supply throughout the season. In spring,…

Here on Gabriola Island, we are enjoying gorgeous summer weather after a day of long awaited rain of last Thursday. We are so blessed! Many people in BC and Ontario are dealing with either direct threat of wildfire or bad air quality due to smoke. Our son bought an air purifier for his apartment and…

Sora Farm Newsletter-Vol.94
It’s summer and plants are growing fast. When I first moved to Gabriola, I heard people say that someone’s zucchini grew so much overnight and he would not know what to do with it, so he would throw the giant zucchini into your car if it is parked with windows open. I wanted to see…

Sora Farm Newsletter-Vol.93
It is already July! I can’t believe half of 2026 has passed! But it doesn’t mean half of our vegetable season has passed. There are still lots to come to the market. Summer vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and eggplants are still growing. We have abundance of lettuce. Kales and collards suffered from aphids…

Sora Farm Newsletter-Vol.92
Our farm is brimming in summer warmth and sunlight. Yes, it is sometimes too hot, like a few days in last week, and you feel sick of it (in fact, I became literally sick since I did not drink enough water while working outside in the morning and then baking bread in the afternoon), but…
