After we moved the mobile high tunnel off the greens, Ken shut it up so the air and soil could warm up for the heat loving crops. Then he trans planted tomato and pepper seedlings It has hot and Ken shed his shirt – not often does one see him without a shirt with collar And of course he got a lot of help from his supervisor – …
Greetings from the Garden! This week’s CSA box has asparagus, spinach, lettuce, salad mix, beet thins, salad turnips, green onions, potatoes, and herbs Field Notes. Ken got the poultry moved, the beds ready in the garden, planted there, and then got everything ready so I could help move the mobile high tunnel to its summer location. It was downhill and went smoothly. Then he anchored it. Next I will need to help with the cucumber …
Now that the weather has warmed the greens no longer need the protection of a greenhouse, Ken wanted to get the mobile high tunnel moved to this year’s summer location, close it up and warm that soil for the heat loving crops. The actual move is a short part of the job. First he clears the track, removes anchors, ties up doors, and takes up end bracing. When we are moving it down …
Last fall Ken moved the chickens, geese and turkeys into the garden. They clean up weed seeds and insects. Chores are easier in winter if the birds are nearer the house. And manure for the compost is already in the garden. It means they get moved in spring to other, more remote locations Ken had planned using the mobile high tunnel for the spring greens. Good thing as geese wanted to sit on …
Greetings from the Garden! This week’s CSA box has lots of greens – spinach, lettuce, beet thins, etc. We also have green onions or chives, beets, celery root, potatoes, and herbs. Field and Farm Notes. Thank you to all who came out to our Spring Opener! Ken has been moving poultry so he can get into the garden. Oscar usually circles the coop so the chickens can’t “escape,” but with the vet’s …

Greetings from the Garden! This box has greens – spinach, lettuce, salad mix, potato onions or green onions, potatoes and beets from the root cellar and some fresh herbs Field Notes. Ken keeps a-planting and a-weeding. Right now he is also getting ready for our spring opener next weekend. His largest task is clearing some downed wood and I am helping stack once we split it. Oscar went in for surgery. He had a benign …
Oscar went to the vet Friday. He has had a benign tumor for a few years, and recently it started to grow at a rapid rate. I had tried various suggestions from holistic animal folks to no avail. It was time to remove it. Of course we are puzzled. Over the years we have had dogs and cats, but Oscar is the only one to have a tumor. He is home and is supposed …
Well, after nearly 70 degrees we have had two cold nights. At this point the Nanking Cherries, plums and some apples are blooming or budded out. Will the cold mean we will lose the crop? We just have to wait and see!
Yesterday Ken bottled up his raw vinegar from our apples – raw, unfiltered, with mother. Available in two sizes. Price includes bottle deposit.
