As July comes to a close, the fields continue to provide, and the delicious results of new growth are readying for harvest! CSA Registration is still open and there are plenty of vegetables to go around- sign up here!
Since the last update, yellow, purple, (and soon dragon's tongue beans) have been growing beautifully and filling CSA baskets along with kale, chard, peas, basil, parsley, and more.
What's New
Harvests continue as does nurturing new life!
Lots of weeding and turning over beds for new plants has been happening. Tons of new seedlings have successfully been planted! Arugula, luffa gourds, malabar spinach, and red frills mustard are just a few of the seedlings that have recently gone into the ground, alongside the direct seeding of more beans!
Plant Progress
See some of the plant progress happening below! First two pictures are the same Carnival Squash just one week apart!
You can enjoy some of the goodness yourself by signing up to be a part of the CSA program or by stopping by the Rhizome Farms farmstand every weekend 11-4 where an array of fresh veggies, seedlings, and other wonderful items are being sold! Rhizome Farms produce will also be available from Downtown St. Catharines Friday evenings 4:30-8pm and through-out pop-up summer markets, stay tuned to social media to find out more.
