This weather is amazing plant growing weather! Veggies are finally taking off in the field. We planted over 600 heirloom tomatoes in our hoophouse last week as well as planted potatoes–rose finn, yukon, purple, russets among others. We also seeded the first round of summer crops — beans, basil & summer squash. Parsnips, winter squash and pumpkins also went in. We’re starting to feel caught up and on track after a few weeks of chaotic frenzy in May. Bring on the summer! Crops are loving this 70 – 80 degree weather.Strawberries are beginning to ripen and we’ve been bringing all kinds of new veggies to the market — purple & golden turnips, dandelion greens and collards! Yummy. Here are some new photos from the farm.
