Farm Happenings for December 21, 2023
Strawberries are just in time for Christmas and they have been very good! We are harvesting a few of ours but the bulk of our crop hasn't hit just yet. Mainly because we plant bare root strawberry plants and they take a little longer to get going but they produce over a longer period versus plug pl1 read more »

Romanesco is here! Or as my kids call it "Christmas Trees" and they absolutely love it, as do my wife and I.

We finally have some more bro1 read more »

Green garlic is looking good and appears to be larger than normal for this time of year, which means we may harvest some of it earlier than the Spring.

Well we got our first frost and it definitely knocked some of our summer plants out, but didn't wipe everything out so that's a plus. We should start seeing some more new stuff by next week, hopefully! The cold rolled in and then rolled right back out so we are back dealing with the hot days and co1 read more »

Well the plot of okra in the picture is finally producing, just days before we may see our first frost, which if we get a frost the okra will be toast! Haha! That is how it goes sometimes though, we typically plan on the first frost to be around mid October but it rarely hits when we predict it to.1 read more »
