To me, this is the most exciting time of the year on the Farm! The deliveries to stores have begun and we're busy filling orders.
Our Farm's online store offers specialty baskets at prices well below other organic vegetable starts sold online. My very favorite is the Specialty Greens Basket. Last year I was excited to plant my own basket and I found over 50 starts of the eight different lettuce and spinach varieties. They're very easy to separate. Just gently pull them apart and plant them as each instruction tag suggests. Each time the lettuce was ready to harvest, I cut it off about an inch above the ground and in that way I was able to harvest the same head two or three times. We ate lots of organic lettuce and specialty greens for a couple of months and had to buy none at the store.
The weather has warmed here in Sandy and the smell of summer is in the air! Yesterday, walking from the greenhouses to the house, two of the roosters scolded me for talking with the chickens. Some of the children were bouncing effortlessly on the big trampoline, enjoying the sun. What a great time of the year!
