Food Update

Wow! Things are progressing well out here, and with this recent rain,the plants are happy too. Deliveries will begin in about four weeks,but it may be sooner if the weather cooperates. This week, I just thought I would update you on the status of your food:

Lettuce,Spinach, and Misc. Greens: These are planted weekly. Some of the varieties in the greenhouses are almost ready and mature. We have these planted in succession plantings to ensure a supply for many weeks.

Carrots and Beets: These are growing well in the greenhouse, and you will probably be eating these in late June/Early July. Succession plantings beginning next week will provide more of these throughout the summer,especially in August.

Potatoes: 1300 lbs of seed potatoes are already in the ground. They have not sprouted above the ground yet, but we hope to see them growing in about two weeks. We begin sending these around the first week of July and continue through the season.

Peas: Planted last week, and they usually mature around the end of June

Beans: Not planted yet

Kohlrabi,Broccoli, Cabbage, and Brussel Sprouts: About half of these are already transplanted in the ground, and the other half, about 4000 plants, is in the greenhouse maturing. Many of these will mature in late June and Early July. Some will mature later in the summer.

Onions and Garlic: Some in and succession plantings will continue for a few more weeks. Green onions will be ready the first week through the first three or four weeks. Storage onions will be ready in late August. The garlic will be mature in late July.

Sweet Corn: Not in. We start succession plantings next week.

Wheat and Oats: These are in and growing well. They will mature in early August, and we will mill and ship the flour as soon as we can in August. The oats will be rolled and sent about the same time.

Asparagus and Strawberries: As perennials, they are thriving and doing well.Asparagus will be certainly be in your early deliveries and strawberries show up in late June.

Tomatoes, Peppers, Misc.Herbs, and Eggplant: These are up in the greenhouse right now. We will transplant these plants after the threat of frost is gone

Melons,Squash, Pumpkins, Cucumbers: Not planted. They will be planted in successions beginning next weekend in the greenhouse. They will mature from July - October, depending on the variety.

There are others,but this should give you a summary idea of what is going on with your food.
