I hadn't brought my camera along to the farm today, due to the heavy rain, but when we got there, there was a break in the rain, and I couldn't resist. These pictures are from my phone instead, so please excuse the poor quality. Whoever said a picture is worth a thousand words obviously didn't have me working the camera.
The front garden is looking wonderful! A lot of bright green and deep red is showing through these days. The lettuce is ready, along with spinach, radishes, rhubarb, and I believe some kale. The first peas are flowering already, too! The first picture is of 4 of the rows of lettuce, the second is a wider view of the entire front garden. This garden is small, but with the careful planning and succession planting, it has been a great producer!
Before the rain hit hard and heavy mid morning, the sweet corn was going straight into the ground, as were the cucumbers and another item or two.
We were talking about having our first delivery later this week, but the rain may have put us off until next week. Stay tuned for more info!!!
My tasks for this week include finalizing a drop point for Crookston, updating all of our database info, and planning the routes for delivery. The boxes are going to be marked at the farm, more items will be planted (if the weather cooperates!), and the transplanting of the younger plants will continue as it has for the last couple of months.
For those who might be interested, we had a front page article in the Fertile Journal last Wednesday. Twylla did a WONDERFUL job sharing about our operation! Please thank her for a well written story if you have a chance, we appreciate great news articles!
"See" you all again soon!
