We have a lot of different Lettuce, Spinach and other Greens in the high tunnels, hoping to get them out before the warm weather fruiting crops like Tomatoes, Peppers Cucumbers, etc. get transplanted there. I need this harvest for the next 6 weeks to carry over to the Spring transplanted crops that we have going in the nursery right now. It's a weekly guess as to what we might offer, and it happens this time every year. Perhaps I might add supplemental heat to speed things up next year, and maybe the cost of propane will be less.
As we go through this "shoulder season" the supply of storage crops is dwindling. The carrots are still firm, but the potatoes are sprouting and turning soft. The remaining Onions are also starting to rebel, and the apple varieties will narrow in the coming weeks. However later today I will prepare two beds for Spring Carrots!
This week I am at the Family Fare parking lot in Eaton Rapids on Wednesday at 12:00 noon and the Allen Street Indoor Farmers Market after that, 3:00-6:00. Thursday afternoon is farm pick up and home deliveries, and Saturday I am at the parking lot behind Flour Child Bakery in Grand Ledge, 11:00-12:00 noon. I hope to see you soon
