First Farmers Market of the Season in Harrisburg!! Saturday June 23rd!!
Wow has it been hot but the gardens look great!! I am excited for the first market of the season this Saturday in Harrisburg in front of White Wrapper Meats 9-2
We will have Zucchini, Snow Peas, Onions, Potatoes, Lettuce Greens, Fresh Parsley and Chives. We will also have some Beets and it looks like Green Beans as well!! Swiss Chard and maybe some Spinach and Broccoli. Hope to see you this Saturday!!
As my husband would say, the last rains we have received are worth a million bucks and everything is growing great in the gardens. Just finished planting some transplants of additional tomatoes, peppers, leeks and brussel sprouts!! Check us out on Facebook for recent pictures of the gardens. It is really exciting to see things thriving and looking great. New items planted this year include kale, romaine lettuce, strawberry spinach, dried beans, chives and garlic. We are probably going to be ready to roll with Farmers Market in 2-3 weeks!! In addition to Harrisburg this year on Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings, we will also be at Landscape Garden Center on Saturday Mornings from 9-2 on South Minnesota Avenue. Listen to their radio show and email notification when we are ready to go at that location. REMEMBER TO CHECK US OUT ON FACEBOOK FOR SOME GREAT PICTURES OF THE GARDENS!!
The First High Tunnel Building is up and Planted!!
We have completed the building of our First Tunnel and planted last Saturday with Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplant, Cabbage, Broccoli and Cauliflower!! We are very excited but nervous as this is a whole new adventure for us this season. Learning the best practices of High Tunnel buildings is certainly a challenge for us and a good learning experience as we hope to have a larger High Tunnel up later this Spring.
I was fortunate to attend some classes on Farmers Market and developing a good business plan and developing online marketing and networking. I am very excited to add new locations and feel confident that we will have the products to support them and to continue to expand our business and provide new items to sell. We have also planted Potatoes, Leeks, Walla Walla Onions as well as the first planting of Peas and Brussel Sprouts along with additional Onion varieties and Zucchini. The rest of the seedlings have been started and will be planting a number of additional items this week as it appears the last of the frost is gone.
We will keep you updated on our progress and just as soon as we have product that will be ready. Have a great week and hopefully we will get an additional shot of moisture!!
With the beautiful green grass, we need the April Showers to really feel like Spring is here!! We have started planting of some of the hardier crops to ensure no issues with a late snow. The top is going up on our first high tunnel building and we are excited/anxious/nervous to learn the ropes of this new endeavor. We have approximately 1000 seeds started in the greenhouse and are very excited to get them in the ground. We have expanded our gardens this year again to bring you even more varieties and wonderful options for fresh produce for you and your family!! We are also planning on expanding our locations this year to provide fresh produce to more people. Will keep you updated and enjoy the wonderful sunny weather.
We tried to obtain a wide variety of seeds this year and hope to grow some really neat things for you to try!! We are setting up the greenhouse to start putting the seeds in the dirt and see what grows. We are erecting a High Tunnel this year to extend our growing season and hopefully keep you supplied with a wide variety of vegetables later in the season. Hope you are enjoying the wonderful weather, we are truly blessed this winter to see many sunny days!! Talk to you soon…
