Farm Update

Down on the Farm Still no asparagus popping through the earth, but a lot of veggies have been planted in the last week. With Vicky and I now in couples therapy after days of  "discussing" the planting map for the year, we have finally come to an agreement on where things should be planted.  When I suggested that, maybe, next year we should start working on the map in January, she suggested that, maybe, I should stick the map in a place that doesn't get a lot of sunshine. Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage (green and red) spinach, various greens and lettuces, kale, chinese cabbage, pac choi, carrots, radishes, peas, onions, collards, kohlrabi, turnips and garlic are in. We have 230 pounds of seed potatoes to prepare to sow this weekend.  Reds, whites, yukons, blushes and purple potatoes! We roasted some of our Jerusalem Artichokes or "Sunchokes" for dinner tonight.  Cleaned them off.  Cut them into small pieces.  Tossed them in olive oil, salt, cumin,and pepper.  They tasted very much like home fries.  You could add a multitude of other ingredients that would work with them. Still open for self serve eggs, honey and artichokes 10-6 each day.  Honey in 1, 2, and 3 pound jars  Or bring your own container to save a buck.

Locally Yours, Vicky and Steve
