summer is almost here

hey it’s sara here.

The spring in the Pacific Northwest is notoriously fickle and this spring has been no exception. It was definitely cooler, windier, and wetter than last year, which just makes things a bit more tough.  Summer comes on like a switch though, so we’re plugging in drip tape all over the farms and mulching to warm the soil for the tomatoes, eggplant, ground cherries, peppers and tomatillos that we will be planting over the next couple of days. As we soldier on, we have started harvesting our first lettuce, which we use a lot of, so that makes us happy. We are also at the tail end of tomato start season, this will be the last week that we have them at the market.

Our CSA begins the first week of June, so the focus will be on seeding and transplanting like crazy in anticipation of the extra demand, we’re hoping to have enough of everything for our market shoppers and our CSA customers, but have some contingencies in place to assure that our CSA customers get first pick of what’s available.

back to the dirt!!
