Garden Update

Greetings Folks,

We haven't had as much computer time of late so apologies for the lack of updates.
The gardens are really taking shape.
In the last weeks we have planted spinach, radishes, carrots, parsnips, burdock, lettuce, storage onions and leeks. The celeriac and early brassicas are poised to go in this week.
We have also been busy prepping and planting 3 new strawberry beds. These beds are situated right next door to the rhubarb.
We have expanded the asparagus beds and now have over 300 ft planted and mulched.
With the help of a very sturdy bicycle trailer we purchased last fall (it will haul over 300lbs), we have been acquiring manure/bedding from the SLU stables and excitedly mulching the raspberries and blueberries.
This is a fun trip to and from town.
If anyone is interested in joining in on one of these pedal runs you should let us know.
We also planted 24 more fruit trees (apples, pears and plums)These too were transported via bicycle from St Lawrence Nurseries in Potsdam.
On this trip we also brought back 3 chickens. It was quite the load.

You may have noticed another major chunk of ground freshly broken.
This land will be planted with winter squash, potatoes and corn later this month.

Please remember that there are eggs in the large fridge in the front outbuilding.
Take them as you like. The overwintered spinach is sizing up and will be ready for cutting soon. This will be on a you pick basis (with our help). The same will go for the early asparagus.

We will be in touch soon regarding the details for the first of our "first saturday workdays" on June 6th.

Thanks and stay in touch.
