Whats Happen Country Taste Farm May 20 2013

Some much needed Rain is welcomed to our farm. All of the transplants are planted in all 3 high tunnels. The  Asparagus that is outside and Arugula, lettuce, Radish and spinach that are in the High tunnels will be ready for pick up and delivery the first week of June so you can expect Tuesday June 4th for the start of our Tuesday Members Schedule and Thursday June 6th for the start of  our Thursday members Schedule, More details will be sent out next week. This week the Cucumbers in the high tunnel are almost ready to train them up the twine so we spent some time hanging the twines. The apple trees are just starting to bloom. The out side plantings are a little behind but if the warm weather keeps up they will come on fast. Until next week i will keep my hands in the dirt.

What's Happen Country Taste Farm May 13 2013

On Saturday my young helper and I planted 360 Tomato Plants in the New High Tunnel 11 different Varieties. With the heater on over night they all survived the Frost on Sunday and Monday. I uncovered the Strawberry Plants and they look like they made it thur the winter well. The Asparagus is coming up looks great. We Could use some rain but i spent today checking  and starting all the pumps we will have to start irrigating tomorrow with the 90 degree heat coming in. I keep trying to come up with a cute weekly ending like "RED GREEN KEEP Your Stick on the Ice" Maybe someone has a Idea?
