A fun-filled week of getting crops in the ground and a huge turnip harvest too.

This is the time of year when our days are full and we sleep well at night. Several rotation of leafy greens went in the hoop houses and radishes direct seeded in. The heat and bright sunshine helped a few head lettuce rotations to jump ahead of projected harvest dates so a bounty of delicious lettuce in the shares this week.

The best news is our peas look the best they have looked in years! We have had some disappointing germination and yields the past few years but it is sure looking strong this season. We are looking forward to some great harvests.

The greenhouse is FULL of gorgeous tomato plants. The big garden sale is in the driveway this weekend, and we will transplant our tomatoes out into the fields next week. It will be nice to have a bit of space open up in the very crowded greenhouse.

SPRING SHARE #2

WHAT IS IN YOUR SHARE-Head lettuce trio (3 fancy varieties), turnips, pac choi medley (4 wonderful varieties), tokyo bekena (a fluffy Chinese cabbage), radish micro sprouts

Head lettuce trio-A big lettuce harvest this week of 3 unique varieties. Great texture and flavor.

Turnips!-2 long sections of turnips came out of hoop 2. We planted this crop in early March and this variety grows best in cool temps. Once the temperature warms up the flavor changes and not as sweet and creamy. Turnips are 1 of our favorite early crops.

Polishing turnips.

Pac choi Medley-4 varieties in this party pack! Grilled and slightly charred they are delicious. Pan fried and slightly wilted-a great side dish and as always they add great flavor and crunch to fresh salads. Oh, juicing is fantastic!

This variety we interplanted with the carrots-it gets a bit tight but now the carrots have room. This is a great way to use space in early Spring.

Tokyo Bekena-Another crop that has the best sweet flavor in cool temperatures. Great spicy cabbage flavor. Adds loft to fresh salads and also great for juicing.

Radish micro green-A snappy garnish to sandwiches, salads. They are a snip 1 and done. Keep in a sunny window and water as needed.

BEST GUESS FOR NEXT WEEK-leaf lettuce, head lettuce, turnips, baby kale mix, radishes, arugula and more!

It’s been a great Spring for us. This mild weather sure helps with getting the early crops in the hoop house and the fields ready. Scott has all the plastic down and irrigation about set. Tomato and pea trellis going up next. We set a new personal record for potato planting. We got all 440 pounds of seed potatoes in the ground 3 weeks earlier than our past personal record. Feels good to get that big job done.

It’s fun for us to be out in the gardens and rolling along. Brussels sprouts all in and we thought 6 month from now we will be harvesting these treats. A rainbow appeared when the planting was done.

A few big deals slowed us up…..those high winds ripped the plastic off hoop 1. Something that has never happened to us. We worried about the rain forecast and VERY grateful that freezing temperatures not forecasted and did a quick hillybilly fix and ordered new plastic and we moved on.

The other big deal is the delay planting the onions due to wet conditions……it drained quickly but we needed to pivot and put it off a week. Probably a good thing as the onions will bulk up a bit more. Scott always says it like “putting yarn in a hole” when we plant onions.

Tomato plants are bulking up and look wonderful and the greenhouse is full of tender seedlings waiting to get out in the garden.

More good news is the hoop houses are way ahead of schedule due to the mild temperatures and the first share of the season launch has “hard goods”. Radishes and turnips arrived early and TONS! of leafy greens. It’s a great start to the gardening season.

WHAT IS IN YOUR SHARE-Big bag of leafy salad mix lettuce, mini head lettuce, turnips!, pea shoots, radishes, mini green pac choi, and spinach.

Leafy green mix-We planted long rows of delicious salad mix. It’s wonderful. A treat after a long winter of store-bought greens. Enjoy!

Mini head lettuce-A favorite head lettuce around here. Very juicy and sweet with a nice crunch.

Turnips!-The highlight of Spring for sure! Best enjoyed raw. Sweet and such a smooth texture. The greens are delicious slightly wilted with garlic and a shake of soy sauce.

Pea Shoots-These greens taste just like fresh snap peas. Place in a sunny window, water as needed and snip and eat as a garnish, added to fresh salads, sandwich toppers or added to warm broth. They are a 1 and done. Once you snip they do not regrow.

Radishes-Garden gumballs! They look just like candy. A perfect snack or added to those delicious salads we will all be eating this week.

Mini Green Pac Choi-Another great addition to fresh salads. Chop to add great crunch and flavor to your dish. Pac Choi is also wonderful pan tossed in garlic and oil. Slightly wilted and served warm. A Maeve favorite.

Spinach-Thick juicy leaves and full of flavor. This is the 1st picking of the Spring planted spinach in hoop 2.

BEST GUESS FOR NEXT WEEK-TURNIPS, HEAD LETTUCE, TOKYO BEKINA, PAC CHOI AND MORE….

Final Share of the 2023 Summer CSA Season

Change is in the air for sure this morning! A chill in the damp grass and bright colors surround us in the sunshine. Autumn has arrived and we focus on transitions.

Another great week prepping for the final share. We had a blast dancing around the pumpkin patch finding the prettiest pumpkins for the shares this week. Lots of beauties out there and it truly is 1 of our favorite crops to harvest. We filled a truckload and even had to sneak a few extra in the cab and Maeve had to hold one too on the way home! We checked every single variety of winter squash and made the group decision that they were just not quite ready. So close but who wants to eat an almost-ripe squash…? Not us, so major squash overload will be in the bonus season offerings in the future.

Our helper Al is busy with the garden cleanup and landscape fabric and irrigation are being lifted and the compost pile grows. We had perfect weather for late-season harvest. 2 more rows of sweet potatoes will be dug next week and lots of carrots to pull and the gorgeous spinach in hoop 2 will continue to produce but with the change of season our duties slow.

We loved this season. So many “best ever” crops and rotations strong and spot on. The drought made life a bit challenging but the irrigation ran around the clock and we had our focus dialed in. We are grateful for this life we have and our CSA family that makes it all possible.

Big news that some of you may already know as happy news tends to travel fast. We purchased a building in downtown Baraboo. A quiet dream we have had for some time. So, transitions for sure. It is a large space we hope to share and will be pondering many fun options this winter. We are unsure what the future brings for us but excited to see how it all shakes out and will share updates along the way.

WHAT IS IN YOUR SHARE-Head lettuce, spinach, shallots, beets, peppers, ornamental pumpkin, brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, leeks, ornamental/decorative mini pumpkins, russet potatoes, parsley, and choice of a pie pumpkin or spaghetti squash

Head lettuce-2 great varieties harvested this week out of hoop 1. Delicious and so pretty too. A butter head added to the full shares this week that I know are on the favorite list of a few members! Enjoy.

Spinach-Super early morning harvest this week as the warm temps and bright sun make the hoop house heat up quickly. Sweet juicy leaves, triple rinsed with great flavor. We love lightly wilted spinach at dinner in the Fall.

Shallots-A bounty of shallots this year. We dried them under the shade cloth in the greenhouse. Delicious mild flavor and super long storage life.

Shallot harvest.
Air drying onions and shallots.

Beets-Sweet! A nice big bag. A mix of the traditional and a beautiful heirloom golden beet called badger flame.

Italian Fry Peppers-I cannot believe the peppers harvest this season and cannot believe we still have peppers this late in the season! Amazing and what a gift to snack on this fresh picked sweet delight in October.

Pumpkins-Quite the Haul! All lined up and ready in the driveway again this week for CSA members to select a favorite.

Brussels Sprouts-Gorgeous plants this season. Nice and tall and we snuck from the bottoms of the stalks again this week.

Sweet potatoes-The winter staple around our house. Fantastic harvest so far and more to come.

Leeks-Our helper Al pulled the last of the leek crop from the garden this past week and we trimmed and cleaned them up in the shade. Longest we have ever grown.

Russet potatoes-Beauties for sure!!! and 2 perfect hearts are tucked in as a surprise for 2 members as a treat.

Pie Pumpkin OR spaghetti squash-members may choose.

Flat leaf Parsley-A delicious addition to winter soups or stews.

Fussy!…Making sure each bunch is perfect.

We will take a week or 2 off to get the last of the crops out of the ground and tackle clean up and then go into the storage bonus shares! See you soon.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WONDERFUL SEASON WITH OUR FAMILY!

1 more fantastic share remains in this summer season.

The 1st days of autumn have arrived and we are thrilled the 1st pumpkins harvested from the field! Finally!!

We are holding off 1 more week on our slow-to-mature winter squash. As I mentioned the drought delayed germination in the Spring. The temperatures are going to be warm this week and we decided just a bit more time….

Transition is in the air. We had some great rain this week that slowed up our outdoor garden cleanup but allowed us time to work in the hoop houses and organize the packing areas. I heard a fellow farmer comment that it was the 1st decent rain we have had all summer-and we agree. We are thrilled that all the potatoes are out of the ground (a new record for us!) and we have 2 remaining rows to dig of those fantastic sweet potatoes. A few areas of the garden did get cleared out and a huge thank you to our wonderful helper Al who cleared the tomato patch on Sunday. A sure sign that summer is behind us now.

The cleaned-up tomato patch.

***for some reason many photos will not load to the site this week-and of course I cannot figure this out! So, a bit light on visual delights in the discriptions.

CSA #17

What is in your share-A pumpkin!, head lettuce, fingerling potatoes, storage onions, big bag of rainbow carrots, peppers, celosia bouquet, purple filet beans (full share only), Sweet potatoes, pac choi (snack pac only), kale and homemade soap from my friend Kathy as a treat!

Pumpkin!- the 1st pumpkin of the season. Members can select a beauty from the driveway.

Head lettuce-Another Beauty from Hoop 1. We are pretty proud (and relieved) that we were able to pull off another season of fresh lettuce in every share all season long. It gets a bit tricky in the heat of the summer as germination is not the best in high heat conditions and growing in those temps challenging too. A heavy shade cloth and circulating fans when needed do wonders to keep the temperatures down. Enjoy this week’s lettuce selection. It’s delicious.

Fingerling Potatoes-Fresh out of the ground. These sure are a late season treat. A firm potato that is wonderful roasted or fried.

Storage onions-These are the onions harvested this summer and dried in our greenhouse. Long storage life and great flavor.

Onions drying in the greenhouse.

Rainbow carrots-A nice mix of colorful (and flavorful) carrots from hoop 2.

Peppers-This may be the last of those delicious and sweet Italian Fry Peppers. A great pepper season for us.

Carmen Peppers in the hot late summer haze.

Celosia Bouquet-We grew this flower many years ago and I wanted to do it again this season as the color and textures are so beautiful. They dry great and look like velvet when dry. We like to add them to a bowl of pinecones in the winter.

Purple filet beans (full only)-We cannot believe we are harvesting beans this late in the season. Enjoy!

Sweet Potatoes-2 rows cam out this past week and 2 to go! A fantastic tomato season.

A favorite image from last season.

Pac Choi-Final Pac Choi of the season. (snack only)….Crunch away on this famiy favorite.

Kohlrabi-This is the end of this crunchy snack…..

Homemade Soap-A gift from my very good friend Kathy.

BEST GUESS FOR NEXT WEEK-FINAL SHARE OF THE SEASON. HEAD LETTUCE (BUTTER HEADS RETURN!, BEETS, SWISH CHARD, POTATOES, SWEET POTATOES, PEPPERS?, BRUSSELS SPPROUTS, SHALLOTS AND MORE.

We LOVE this time of year! Bright colors, huge harvests of crops we have waited allll season long to see. Rich delicious flavors and textures. Caps on our heads and warm shirts on in the morning dew.

Our workdays are shorter with daylight arriving late and leaving early. Scott pulled the shade cloths off the hoop houses-a sure sign of our seasonal transition to Fall.

There are no more seeds to plant or transplant. We are riding the wave to the final days of the growing season. Our focus now is to get those sweet potatoes out of the ground!, the final row of potatoes dug (fingerlings-YUM!) stare at the pumpkin/squash patch and hope that next week is the week those babies are FINALLY ready. Clean-up continues in the garden with spaces opening-up. A happy time of year.

CSA #16 (2 shares remain of this season)

What is in your share- romaine head lettuce, purple filet beans, brussels sprouts, arugula, fry peppers, SPINACH!, golden storage onions, pac choi, sweet potatoes (full only), heirloom potatoes, lunchbox peppers (full only)

Romaine head lettuce-A powerhouse head lettuce from hoop 1 this week. We love the variety-called greentowers.

Purple Filet Beans-Surprise! Final bean rotation of the season and they are delicious. Snappy and fresh.

Pac Choi-Our family favorite-even Bell! Juicy thick stalks that are fantastic in stir fry, grilled or to add a bit of crunch in fresh salads.

Italian Fry Peppers-Maybe 1 more week of these sweet delights! A bounty this season. Maeve loves them raw! They freeze well for winter chili too. The yellows seem to be the best producers this year.

Brussels Sprouts-We snuck some more from the bottom of the stalks. A great brussels sprout patch for us this season.

Golden Onions-Long storage life. We harvested these a few weeks back and dried them in our greenhouse.

Spinach!-It’s back!!!! 1st Fall harvest from hoop 2. Sweet and flavorful.

Garlic-Harvested this summer and dried in our shed. Perfect for warm rich stews and hot dishes. Crazy enough it is almost time to replant!

Arugula-A 2nd harvest from hoop 1. A spicy addition to fresh salads and we love it on our sandwiches.

Sweet potatoes (full only)-We are busy getting the 1st row out of the ground and 5 more rows to go! They look fantastic.

Heirloom potatoes-The creamiest potatoes ever! boiled steamed or roasted they are wonderful.

CSA #15

A productive and happy week in the gardens…

We received some much-needed rain and a beautiful surprise rainbow when the sprinkles ended….

Leafy greens were directly seeded in the hoop houses and major garden clean up has begun. Feels good to see the spaces open up and the compost pile grow tall.

We may have picked our last tomato this week and dug our 1st sweet potatoes as we transition to Fall crops. We have a bit of a nail-biter going on here…..our squash and pumpkin crop was seeded in a non irrigated field at the normal time this Spring……and then it never rained for a MONTH! The seeds sat there and sat there…well, the crop is behind and we are waiting for all those delicious beauties to ripen. It is a beat the clock with the frost and Halloween with all the cool pumpkins. Tons!!! are in the field we just need to wait and cross our fingers.

CSA #15

Thank you, Cousin John for the amazing corn this season. Corn KING!

Kohlrabi-A favorite around here…..snappy and a great crunch to our fresh salads.

Best guess for next week-romaine lettuce, purple filet beans, peppers, sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts, spinach, and more….

CSA #14

We sailed through the (hopefully) final heat wave of summer on the dry breeze that blew. It was not too bad….and watched for the predicted rainstorms that never came. Beautiful days of autumn harvests ahead and we feel the transition to Fall has arrived. Leafy green mixes and leaf lettuce seeds were transplanted out into hoop 1 and long beds of fall radishes seeded in too. 2 big tomato harvests came from the tomato patch and it seems the plants are finally slowing down. This is the best tomato year we have ever had and the longest they have produced for us too. Just wonderful.

The 1st sweet potatoes will come out of the ground next week and a quick check of the squash too….It’s fun to make the turn to winter storage season.

CSA #14

What is in your share-head lettuce, arugula, beets, Italian fry peppers, edamame, slice tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, san marzano paste tomatoes, pears, sunflower bouquets, zucchini, broccoli side shoots and shallots

Head Lettuce-A beauty from hoop 2. A delicious summer crisp-fluffy and perfect.

Arugula- A snappy treat- a spark in fresh salads or garnish. Bold peppery flavor.

Arugula in the morning sun!

Beets-A fantastic harvest from hoop 2. A bounty we pulled before the heat and they are sweet!

Edamame-We planted a second rotation 2 weeks after the 1st as a bonus. We love it quickly blanched and added to our fresh salads or as a “top dress” to our pasta dishes-hot or cold….

Pears! The trees are loaded with sweet, sweet fruit! 2 varieties of pears were harvested and they are delicious. We are completely NO Spray on these trees so you may see minor imperfections.

Tomatoes-This is the last BIG week of those delicious slice tomatoes. I’m sure we will have a few more weeks of tomatoes to enjoy.

Cherry tomatoes-A pint of this summer candy in all shares.

Another batch here of cherry tomato sauce!

Italian Fry Peppers-Sweet and colorful and delicious. OUR families favorite pepper.

Sunflower bouquets-A pretty variety started flowering this week…Beautiful.

Broccoli side shoots!-These plants just keep producing….we love adding to a veggie stir fry.

Zucchini-This is the end (for sure of patch #1). We are looking forward to the transition to winter squash!

Shallots-great mild flavor.

Shallots and storage onions curing after harvest.

BEST GUESS FOR NEXT WEEK-ROMAINE LETTUCE, POTATOES, LEEKS, TOMATOES, SWEET POTATOES?, ONIONS, GARLIC, AND MORE….

CSA #13

We rocked it this week and the overall theme was TOMATOES! Tomatoes and more tomatoes. 875 pounds were harvested from the rows on Sunday and we just kept going. Crazy good season.

We had fantastic working weather and transplanted several rotations of lettuce out into hoop 1, major beet and carrot harvest out of hoop 2 and started “Fall clean up”. A spot check of the sweet potato crop (amazing) and we grabbed all the watermelon that was ready from the patch at the farm. The final lettuce starts were seeded in which surprised us as to how did the season zip by so quickly…..

Cucumber trellises coming down.

head lettuce-a tasty summer crisp in the shares this week. Sweet and fluffy. We love the variety of lettuce in flavor and texture.

Heirloom tender crisp flat top cabbage. A beauty and sweet and delicious.

Italian Fry Pepper- Our favorite and a bumper crop too! The plants are loaded! Fun to see what we find. The best sweet pepper flavor. Raw or saute it is a treat.

BIG green beans- We have a few members who request BIG green beans…here they are. We wait a day and then harvest. I have to say these are the beans my grandmother loved. She would make “green bean soup”-my memory of it was a white broth (water and flour) and a lot of black pepper and then a dousing of milk and big green beans-oh, and a ton of onions. I loved it and big green beans make me think of Grandma Lang.

Summer squash-Patch #1 is just about done and number 2 slowly kicking in…..

Rainbow carrots-A fun harvest out of hoop 2-fresh carrots have the best flavor.

Watermelon-A great watermelon seaon. Sweet!

A bit of a delay in posting….internet was down on Thursday-CSA day- for some reason and then we had the fun of doing the flowers for a wedding over the weekend.

A HOT! week in the garden but we powered through with early mornings, a break and then back at it in the evenings. Some days it was a 3 outfit change due to heat….we rocked on with a good attitude and it was a great week with bountiful harvests.

The tomatoes continue to be the best ever year for us with huge harvests coming from the patch every other day. Lettuce and spinach were transplanted out in the hoop houses and more spinach direct seeded in for Autumn bounty after we made our way through the monster harvests every day…

Green beans- the 3rd rotation of beans are here!…next week we are going for “big beans” as a few members have requested….

Purple potatoes- I have said it before…..I think this is my favorite potato we grow. Fantastic mashed, fried or baked. And makes a very pretty potato leek soup.
