I am amazed I have not posted in such a long time. I am sorry to jump over months of farm activity.
This year, as always, we have much less produce coming out of the fields, than at other times of the year. We’re running into shortages at the market, running out of salad crops within an hour of the start. Beds in the field are damp and cold, not conducive to plant growth. But ground is drying and things are being planted. Our tables will again be full in a month or so. Let me catch you up, visually.
Fava beans are blooming madly.
This crop of artichokes is especially delicious. Hope you can get some at the market while they last, another month or so.
Yesterday’s brassica planting
This crop of Red Butter Lettuce should be on our market stand next week.
Kales
Peas in full flower. We’ll have sugar snaps and English shelling peas this year.
Second planting of peas
Paul is very busy this spring.
Baby lettuces
The greenhouse is wonderful place to work on a blustery day.
