Things are looking great!
A little rain never hurt anybody, and it is making my life a lot easier. These wet days have come at a great time, just as I was about to drag irrigation pipe across the whole farm. The plants are all very grateful for it too!!! And this will really give em a big boost, especially when the sun comes back out. Sugar snap peas are big and starting to fill out, our early seedlings won't be nearly enough for everyone but it will be a great addition to the tables even if there only on there for 15 minutes before there snatched up. As I walked the rows of strawberries on Saturday I spotted a few red ones!!! Jeff and I quickly ate them, A small quantity will most likely make its way to the tables this week, and if you have a chance to buy some, don't pass it up, I can assure you these are the best around and I'll take the Pepsi challenge on that any day. The markets are going so great we are underestimating our popularity and I can assure you that there will be more of our fresh healthy greens on the tables this week. We have been busy here, keeping up on everything pretty good, the more work we put in early will really pay off in the middle of the season. On the agenda today: We will be putting straw under all the strawberries to keep them off the soil and dry, we are also planting winter squash, and our big beautiful tomato plants. Our salad mix, baby head lettuce, and spinach are all on a special promotion with charlies produce this week and we plan to be cutting a lot of greens this week. We cut over 2500lbs of greens for them last week alone! We are very excited about this season and very appreciative of all the loyal customers who make everything worthwhile.
