The gardens are coming along nicely. The weather has really been cooperating, let’s hope it keeps up. Quite a few plants have broke ground including; spuds, onions, lettuce, spinach, arugula, mustard, radishes, kohlrabi, leeks, shallots, peas and pak choi. I’m hoping to see beets and broccoli come up soon.
This week I planted 96 Brussels Sprout plants, a couple more different varieties of radishes and some more beets. Before the week is over, I’d like to get in fennel and another round of lettuce and pak choi.
A few members have inquired about heading over here for a visit. The best time to come depends on what you are most interested in seeing. If you wanted to see the farm in general you could come pretty much anytime (just call ahead,a a day or two notice would be great as well).
Right now we are in the process of planting so there are not a lot of plants up yet (other than the ones I mentioned above). If you were interested in seeing the gardens at their absolute peak July - October would be the best time.
We have several interesting outbuildings which can be fun to take a look at, if you’re into old farm buildings. A word of warning though, we are somewhat under construction right now with our packing shed but if you don't mind seeing a construction zone, we don't mind either.
Of course there are also a variety of critters available for viewing too including; sheep, baby sheep, goats, baby goats, chickens, cats, beef cows, geese and our dog Maynerd.
Obviously spring and summer are very busy seasons for everybody, so if you never get around to stopping by, we won’t be offended. Another thing to consider is that we are kicking around having some type of end-of-the-season party/get together sometime in October.
