660 tomatoes: 85 slicers 2 roma pastes, and 2 cherries 1 yellow. 160 peppers, 5
sweet, some hot from mild to really hot!! Ie: Habanero. 50# of Oregon sugar snap
edible pea pods in our soil building cover crop. Now Planted and up Broccoli,
Cabbage, Celery, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi seeds and plants, red kale and
rubarb. 5 varieties of cukes are up. Lettuce, spinach yellow squash, beans,
zucchini, 3 varieties of basil, rosemary, tarragon, sage, English thyme, oregano, and peppermint are now
planted. As well as 2500 sweet potatoes. Okra, Dill, Rutabagas and 3 more pickler cukes were planted today! We also started cultivating garlic, potatoes and onions today. The weeds are explosive too! Carrots in the greenhouse are close to harvest; outside parsnips and carrots are not up yet. Red cabbage went
in today. Lots of Ambrosia sweet corn is up nicely, 2 more varieties of sweet corn to plant as well as new colored Indian flint corn. Early June is planting time for melons, Squash and pumpkins. We plan on 4 melons, 5 squash and 4 pumpkins about 1 acre total.
We are winding down 1st year of Asparagus and greenhouse
production… Ramping up on outside production! So you expect a short lag
time on your CSA produce… the next week or
2.
Saturday distribution will include: some
greens, lettuce, spinach, and a little asparagus and a few new
herbs.
See you Saturday
10-2pm
P.S. According to our records we now
have 93 personal shareholders, that is all we think we can handle this
year thank you to each of you for your
help.
