April 7th Spring Share #3

Posted in Uncategorized on May 8, 2020| Leave a Comment »

And the week flew by just like that. A delayed post. After the CSA delivery schedule for the shares yesterday we had to cover all exterior plantings with row cover to protect from frost-we worked until dark. A wonderful week in the gardens. We transplanted 2 varieties of early broccoli out and 3 different cabbages. Over 3000 plants went in over 2 days.

The early broccoli rows.

Scott got the irrigation all set up and the last of the plastic down.

We seeded in radish beds and had a huge turnip harvest from hoop 1 which we quickly reseeded with leafy green mixes for Summer CSA.

The turnips came out….

And by the next day 3 leafy green mixes seeded in.

Maeve and I finished upgrading the peppers and started all the watermelons and zucchini The greenhouse is FULL. We wait for this coldsnap to pass and then we can sprawl out a bit.

Filling pepper pots at our “dirt” station…

SPRING SHARE #3

And the bounty continues….asian mix, baby kale mix, beta mix (baby chard/beet tops), mini head lettuce, turnips, and another variety of spinach.

Asian mix-A second cutting off the crop we harvested 2 weeks ago. Snappy and spicy in flavor. Raw or saute. It is delicious.

Asian Mix Harvest.

Beta Mix-baby beet tops and mini swiss chard…this is my favorite mix we grow. I eat it raw in salads.

Beta Mix at harvest.

Beta mix after a triple rinse.

Baby Kale Mix- love this mix lightly wilted with a bit of olive oil. Delicious in broth too.

Baby kale at morning harvest.

Mini head lettuce-A springtime favorite. Sweet and juicy.

Lettuce ready to harvest. This is our 1st lettuce crop out of hoop 2.

What a beauty.

Spinach-A new variety for us we wanted to try. HUGE leaves….great spinach variety for fresh eating in salads or smoothy drinks. Sweet flavor.

Turnips-A fantastic harvest. Spring turnips are the best. Texture is like butter and the flavor is sweet and juicy. Raw is best but can be stirfried.

HUGE harvest….

and a lot of snacking…

BEST GUESS FOR NEXT WEEK…MORE TURNIPS, HEAD LETTUCE, CILANTRO, PAC CHOI, CHIVES, AND MORE….

April 30th Spring Share #2

Posted in Uncategorized on May 1, 2020| Leave a Comment »

A fantastic week for us! We continue to be blown away with the greens in both hoop houses. It was all we could do to keep up with the harvesting and washing. We are thrilled and always chuckle how it takes us a bit to get our garden bodies and minds dialed back in….routines need to be reestablished and our bodies are a bit stiff. But we are happy. Scott got all the plastic down for the rows and is getting all the irrigation lines in place.

Plastic is done and Scott is “scratching” between the rows to level it out. The beds are slightly raised and makes a trough between that is a pain to walk in all summer long if not leveled. Hose in front is our temporary feed to Hoop 2.

Tons of lettuce and pac choi was transplanted out in both hoop houses and we continue to seed in next rotations in the greenhouse. The massive spinach harvest out of hoop 2 took over 5 hours and Scott said 2 days to wash it all after that!….97 pounds. We were estimating 60-65 pounds. It is juicy and sweet and near perfect.

Spinach at harvest.

Scott finishing up the spinach harvest. The leaves you see in the rows are the very 1st leaves the plants shot out and they are tough leathery and lime green in color. Not tasty. We pull them off and discard to so they do not decline in the beds.

Hoop 2 was planted over existing gardens and even with a semi load of organic compost mixed in weeds are a challenge. It was expected but we realize how spoiled we are in Hoop 1 that is well established and weed free. So, every spare second we are weeding in there.

SPRING SHARE #2

WHAT IS IN YOUR SHARE

spinach, tokyo bekana, leaf lettuce, pac choi, arugula and sprouts

Spinach-A huge bag of delicious Spring Spinach.

The amazing Spring Spinach in Hoop 2!

Tokyo Bekana-A fluffy chinese cabbage-and a favorite of mine. Enjoy fresh in salads or lightly wilted.

Tokyo Bekana at morning harvest.

What a beauty!

Leaf Lettuce-Sweet delicate leaves. Leaf lettuce tastes best to me in early Spring. Makes a wonderful light side salad.

Leaf lettuce ready to harvest.

And on it’s way to the dunk tank for a triple rinse.

Pac choi-A juicy green variety. We love it raw. A go to snack for Maeve. Also, delicious saute with garlic and onions and a squirt of vinegar or lemon juice on top.

Pac choi in the hoop house.

Ready to harvest.

Arugula-Snappy and peppery in flavor. This is a mild arugula and we love it.

The arugula bed.

Sprouts-Cute little blend of radishes and chois that have a bite. Great on salads, soups or garnish. Just harvest with a scissors.

BEST GUESS FOR NEXT WEEK-CHIVES, HEAD LETTUCE, PAC CHOI, MINI KALE MIX, ASIAN GREENS MIX, BETA MIX TONS! OF SALAD TURNIPS AND MORE…..GET READY FOR ANOTHER BOUNTY!

April 23 2020 Spring Share #1

Posted in Uncategorized on April 23, 2020| Leave a Comment »

We have been keeping ourselves busy in the gardens and hoop houses. We decided to jump early with our plantings in the hoop house and take a risk and the weather cooperated…a bounty of fresh greens 2 weeks earlier than last year. Scott had to drape row cover at night to prevent frost damage or even freezing of the new seedlings and transplants and then take it all off in the morning over and over again but so worth it.

All tucked in for the night. 2 layers of fabric just to be safe.

Both houses are fully planted. Rows of leafy greens, beets, turnips, kohlrabi, carrots, fennel and TONS! of Spinach. The heated greenhouse needed it’s temporary extension again when we upgraded the tomatoes last week. We run out of room for a few short weeks each year and Scott created this “temporary” lean-to that does the trick…

Scott adding plastic to the greenhouse addition.

Peas are in outside and so is a bed of swiss chard and radishes seeded in….the soil has been prepped in the gardens and Scott is laying plastic for the potatoes and sweet potato rows now. Hopefully by the end of next week all rows will be set and we can start transplanting a few early crops.

Maeve filling the pots for tomato upgrading….as long as country music is playing she will chug along forever…

Scott is in the background discing the gardens. Pea trellis up too!

SPRING SHARE #1

A few changes to our routine due to COVID19….All shares will be a no contact home delivery in non returnable packaging…we will continue this as long as needed through the season to keep all of us safe and healthy.

A great 1st share to kick of the season.

Wintered over spinach, baby kale mix, radishes, asian greens mix, baby pac choi.

Spinach-This is the last harvest of the spinach we planted last August. Next week we switch to Spinach planted March 1 in hoop 2.

Last harvest of wintered over spinach.

Spinach triple rinsed in dunk tanks.

Kale Mix-Harvested small. Great raw or wilted in salads.

Baby Kale ready to harvest.

Radishes!-Spring Radishes are the best…not bitter or woody. Great flavor. Enjoy!

We had a blast harvesting and snacking in the radish patch.

Asian Greens Mix-A favorite of mine….raw or wilted. It has a little kick to it but not too spicy.

Morning harvest in the sun.

Mini Pac Choi-A few early birds of this mini variety. Great addition to a fresh salad or we love it chopped up in broth.

Cute little mini pac choi.

BEST GUESS FOR NEXT WEEK

spring spinach, tokyo bekana(fluffy chinese cabbage), arugula, green pac choi, lettuce, mini sprouts and more….

Summer Share #20 October 24th Final Share

Posted in Uncategorized on October 24, 2019| 2 Comments »

Best season ever for us! Thanks to all for sharing and making this “stay at home/urban farm” life possible for our family. We are grateful. The season zipped by and stayed strong all summer long. Thanks for the survey returns from our members. The feedback on these surveys shape future seasons. Our thoughts….. We are pleased with our crops and rotations this year. Broccoli was abundant!, summer onions had a great harvest this season. The peas-just amazing to us what we pulled from the vines. We were thrilled that we were able to provide lettuce every week all season long with great variety. We loved our baby cabbages and the high volume of kohlrabi. Longest harvest window in a long time with the tomatoes this year. Pepper harvest was almost too much this season and we think we may scale back a tiny bit next season. Potatoes were almost too abundant but wonderful. We are bringing back purple potatoes next year too-I finally convinced Scott. A huge Thank you to Scott’s relatives the Raupp Family for the “Squash runway” and allowing us to plant our potatoes and sweet potatoes at your beautiful farm-we could not do this without their wonderful sandy soil. The beans never overwhelmed us and we think we hit just about the right amount. The watermelon vines tanked for some reason with many under ripe melons on the vines that we opted not to harvest. We hoped for more melons but what we did harvest was delicious. A bit of a disappointment. Sweet potatoes also had a lower yield. Again, what we harvested was good but we wanted more. We are going to attempt to lengthen our cucumber rotation a bit this year. We had tons! but they shut down too quickly in our opinion. Our second big rotation of cucumbers never really did much-same as last year. So, we have a better idea to attempt next season. We always want more carrots!-and colorful carrots….the new hoop house will be dedicated to carrots, beets and a few other speciality root crops that we want to pamper and keep our eye on…We are already talking about next season!

COOL FACT-12,133 pounds of produce went home with our CSA members this season.

An Autumn chill is in the air after 5 inches of rain came down. Monday we hand forked the last of the orange sweet potatoes from the ground and it was HOT! We even got a bit of a sunburn on the back of our necks…we knew we had to hustle as heavy rain was predicted-digging in mud is not fun. Tuesday came the rain and we worked through it harvesting and washing and 4 complete outfit changes. At least it was still warm….and then the cold. It now finally feels like Fall has arrived.

Brussels Sprout harvest…

Harvest complete….and still smiling.

Scott is plugging along with the hoop house….and hopefully this weekend BIG! progress.

Final crops will be coming out of the ground the next few weeks. 1 more row of sweet potatoes to dig, beets, and can’t wait to peek at the ginger! Hoop house spinach looks amazing this time of year….Such a strong season for us and we love sharing the bounty from the gardens.

Such a great week-again….! A huge lettuce HARVEST came out of the hoop house. 3 rotations at once in this heat. Harvest, triple rinsed , chilled, and hoop house replanted by dinnertime. A whirlwind but we wanted to transplant the last of the spinach seedlings out and direct seed in some leafy greens. We continue to gather up the winter squash and what a bounty.

Winter Squash harvesting.

Scott was able to start some Fall garden clean up. Always a huge job and sometimes gets pushed to the back burner. Feels good to see the cucumber trellis down and summer squash patch disappear….AND slowly the new hoop house is being assembled.
