Seedlings still available while quantities last! Peppers, tomatoes, and a few ground cherries


This Week on the Farm

The weeds are here! This means daily weeding and mulching is a must. This also makes direct seeding challenging as many unwanted plants grow faster than the desired crop. Regardless with the warmer weather and the weeds comes quick crop growth! Eggplants and Brussel sprouts were both checked for pests and pruned for dead leaves. All the babies are growing up!

Continue to keep on top of weeding. Begin daily pest scouting. Prepare a bed for direct seeding and seed more salad greens.
