Back to the Market

Market List; Green Onions, Spring Salad Mix with Pea tendrils, Lambs Quarter, Wood Sorrel, Arugula, Kale, Red Lettuce, Spinach, Mache and various flowers,Non GMO Free Range Chicken and Slow Food Cayuga Duck eggs. We will have a few Ramps.

Finally it has stopped raining. We got a little shower yesterday but I believe it will be dry enough to till our garden and field tomorrow. It's been crazy wet. I only have about 100 tomato plants in the ground, stuck in raised beds, next to fences but about 600 waiting to go. We are trying to do a complete rotation this year and moving all our tomatoes to the front field and trying some new crops that we haven't done before in our original growing space. But none of these things have happened yet as we haven't been able to get into either of these areas at all. Thank God for the raised beds.
This will be the last week for the Pea Tendrils and flowers in the Salad Mix as they will be turned over into the field tomorrow. Nitrogen you know, they are part of our cover crop for the new field. It just worked out that they also taste great in the salad.

So Saturday, a whopping 85 degrees and clear (supposedly) until the evening. What a relief after last weekend. I don't think that I got warm until the next day. So wear your shorts and sunscreen. Come by and pick up a glass of St. Louis' best Lemonade or a glass of Green Tea with Robins Local Honey and Jasmine. Tom will be back to sample some Jams, Jellies, Marmalades and Granolas. We'll see ya there.

God's blessings on you and yours,

TTFN,

Sam and Bill
