Growing Season is here !!!
On April - 22 - 2010 1 COMMENT
So…. the warm spring weather is enticing and we are getting out planting the 1st crops !! Garlic is thriving and off to a great start. Peas and beets are in the ground, beans will be planted this week. Onion and leek plants should arrive this week and the fields are ready for them. (I’m not sure our backs are ready for all of the bending and stretching….. but we’ll be back in shape pretty quickly !) The tendency to be sure to order “enough” means that we probably ordered TOO much!! So we’ll be busy planting onions for a while. Hopefully the onions arrive before the potatoes come in !! That’s another labor intensive project!! Cardiovascular workout for sure!
Tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are growing well and heading out to the unheated greenhouse this week. The first lettuce and greens are germinating already in the greenhouse and out in the raised beds. The nights are beginning to stay up in the 40′s consistently, so it’s time to give things a try. Sometimes we get a frost, but some years we don’t. An early start is often a good thing.
CSA sales are picking up, but we still have shares available. Please contact us if you are interested ! We are accepting the Bonus Bucks that GardenShare is offering – so check out that program on GardenShare’s website if you’re interested, if money is an issue. Payment plans can be flexible if need be.
Happy Growing !!!!
