Workparty Sucess
Just a quick update. The workparty out at the farm went great! Peas, onions, corn, broccoli, and leeks were all planted. Several rows in the old beds were also weeded and readied for planting. By the end of the day the ditch was even filled with water so we couldn’t have planned the timing better. Thank you to everyone who participated and we look forward a bountiful harvest which will at least partially be attributable to the efforts of our volunteers, friends, and CSA labor share members.
On another note to our CSA members. I just ordered 55 lbs of seed potatoes, apx 250-400 shallot sets,and 5 lbs of jerusalem artichokes. Also I just put in an order with Johnny’s select for just under $200 of veggie seeds. The new seeds from Johnny’s include: peas, arugula, lettuce, collars, kale, melons, gords, red veined spinach, radish, and swiss chard.
This weekends activities should include planting seeds for everything from mizuna, arugula, spinach and lettuce to planting strawberry crowns, hoeing weeds, shoveling out the ditch, and working on the new chicken coops. Should be a busy and hopefully productive weekend.
