Hey there!
I was very happy to have had the chance to seed my first outdoor crops of the year this week. I got a bed of radishes and spinach in just before the rain on Wednesday night. Fingers crossed that we get enough moisture and heat for those to germinate. I for one am going to be so happy to be eating Steel Pony Farm grown produce again. If all goes according to plan those radishes will be ready to harvest in 4-5 weeks with the spinach just shortly behind.
Pictured above I'm adjusting our row marker before I drew lines in the bed that I use to keep the rows that I seed with a small push seeder straight.
We have several new products to offer this week and we have also refreshed stock on a number of items. Please read below for details.
