So what happens at the Farm in February? We usual attend
Minnesota Fruit and Vegetable Growers Conference in St Cloud, MN, but this year
I had surgery on my back Jan 12th it went very well I was out of the
Hospital the same Day. The pain was minimal and now just 20 day later I am up
and doing computer work and lifting 10 pounds. I expect a full recovery in
about 6 weeks.
This time of year I put my nose into the seed catalogs
and look for new exciting fruit and vegetable seeds. So here are a few we will
try for 2018.
Cabbage Stellar
Vantage
Compact heads and short cores. Offers nice, dense heads
and has good field-holding ability.
Early maturing solid heads with a short core. Holds well
in the field.
Both of these cabbage are to replace Luck Ball that we
have use for Many Years. No longer Available.
Peas
Large-podded
snow pea.
Sweet berries inside big sweet pods combine for a delicious flavor
treat. High yields of large, 4½" x 1", medium-green, flat pods.
Basil Pluto
Pluto is a dwarf basil that produces heavily branched
plants with tiny, dark green leaves. The leaves have a good basil aroma and a
fine basil flavor. The plants are compact, globe-shaped and reach 7 to 8"
in height at full maturity. Pluto is ideal for both open field and pot
production.
We are always looking for equipment to speed up and increase
our labor productivity. When searching the internet I came across two items on
Craig’s list.
