The gardens look fantastic after a slow cold Spring start.  We are thrilled!  We hustled between the raindrops and planted and planted and planted and planted.  A few long days but everything is in and thriving.

All the tomatoes settled in.

Potato planting out at Uncle Jim’s again this year.

Hands after planting 520 pounds manually.

Our crops look strong. Pea plants flowering and itty bitty peas forming…not too long of a wait for these beauties.

I saw garlic scapes forming today and the cabbage is heading up too.  Summer is on it’s way.  We are excited for the 2019 Season!

Look Like candy in the sun….

Sunflower Shoots-A fun “nutty” flavored treat.  Place on a sunny windowsill-snip for garnish, add to salads or soup.

Turnips-Those amazing Spring Turnips!  We saved a few from our last harvest to include in the 1st share.  Enjoy!  More to come in the future.

Baby Kale-A baby kale mix.  Fresh eating or saute-delicious.  Or great for juicing.  We LOVE chomping on the thin stems. Super sweet.
