Wow! Feels like summer! Time to start thinking about getting starts in the ground. What’s your garden plan this year? If you are looking for peppers (many types of sweet and hot), tomatoes, (slicers, sauce and cherries), lettuce, broccoli, Napa cabbage, swiss chard, kale, and bok choy – we’ve got ’em! Saturday 9am-noon, Sunday noon-3pm. Come up the drive to the garage! 6 packs/$2.50, 4″ pots for $3. We’ll be happy to tell you about the varieties we’ve chosen and why! And in two weeks, we’ll have summer and winter squash and cucumber starts. Let the planting begin!

Delicious, nutritious food starts with a healthy fertile soil.  A key element of our soil building program is using cover crops – in this case rye and hairy vetch – to add organic matter, fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil and make sure precious minerals don’t leach out with the winter rains. You still have a chance to taste the results of our work – we have a few more CSA shares available for 2016!  Sign up by the end of the month.

The tomatoes are up! And the onions! Despite the cold, wet, grey day, the greenhouse holds the promise of summer, emerged from tiny seeds. These plants will grow up to provide produce for our CSA (shares still available) , supply our Farm Stand, and some should be available for purchase as starts for home gardens!

That’s right! We’d love to feed you this summer as a Charter Member of our CSA! Our produce is beautiful and we can’t wait to fill your boxes! 15 weeks of fresh fruits and veggies: Large (3-4 people) $375 and Small (1-2 people) $300! Sign up HERE!

The seeds have arrived! And because we have such a short growing season in the PNW, it’s important to get an early start. Today, the Farmer has a goal of getting 400 onion and tomato seeds into the soil blocks in the planting trays. These will go on heating mats and the soil kept moist to encourage germination. There is a certain zen to the task – the radio is on and the Farmer is at peace.

Seed order day! Planning the season’s crops is a bit like a Rubik’s cube – our goal is to rotate plantings so that each year every bed has a different vegetable than the year before. This is key to organic farming as different plants have different nutrient needs. It also minimizes pests and diseases from latching on to any one plant type. Today is a day of envisioning the harvest to come!

Loki the farm pup invites you to stop by Sunday 10am-2pm for last chance at winter squash! $2 a lb. Butternut, Kuri, Delicata, Acorn, Pumpkin, Sweet Meat and Turk’s Turban. Come on up to the house!
