First CSA Boxes!

Whew.  That was a busy week.  I harvested, packed and delivered for 18 families this week, in addition to the madness that is May.

This is prime planting season right now, because the soil has warmed to a suitable 70-75 degrees.  So, now we can direct seed corn, cucumbers, melons, watermelons, basil, squash, winter squash, and a great many other vegetables.

So, throw the CSA into Monday and Wednesday, and planting, and maintenance, and that makes me a busy boy.

We are getting nice, huge heads of broccoli…the early work of prowling for cutworms has payed off!!!  The interesting thing is…the broccoli I planted in March had a lot of cutworm action…the broccoli I planted third week of March got harassed by the birds, but the broccoli planted end of March was problem free and it looks like that planting (about 110 plants) is going to be the best of all.
