SPRING SHARE #2 MAY 9TH

May 9, 2019 by foxlinecityfarm

A great week of greenhouse and hoop house duties as we sit in a holding pattern with outside garden work. RAIN! and more rain….All the cucumbers, zucchini, watermelon seeded in. Another big rotation of head lettuce started and transplanting seedlings into the hoop house. Scott pulled the last of the fantastic wintered over spinach from the hoop house, prepped the soil and we replanted lettuces and pac choi by the end of the day.

Spinach area all replanted with baby lettuces and pac choi.

A loooooooooooong row of carrots were seeded in this week on our 1 sunny dry day.

Early carrot trough all seeded in.

Outdoor spinach is really taking off and looking strong.

Day we transplanted….

This morning….

We were able to seed in some outdoor radishes again and also transplant out some beets…but we wait for it to dry up before much more can go out into the beds…looking forward to a dry sunny week ahead.

SPRING SHARE #2

Radish medley, 1 pound bag of fantastic spinach again!, snappy baby arugula, sunflower shoots, chives, salad mix (baby leaf lettuce and baby kale), and legume sprouts.

Radish Medley-We harvested 2 varieties and the have great crunch and not too spicy.

Baby arugula-a favorite around here. Snappy peppery flavor. Add to salads or light saute.

Baby arugula at harvest.

Sunflower shoots. A nutty flavor and great texture to add to soups, fresh salads or a garnish. Keep on a sunny window sill and snap as desired-a great snack.

Legume Sprouts-This is our winter “go to” snack at our house and great in the lunch box too. A mix of many different legumes-peas, lentil, garbanzo beans, adzuki and more sprouted and ready to eat. Enjoy the treat.
