A few announcements then some worthless information and lovely pictures!
We are still taking orders for everything we sell. Please spread the word! And feel free to add items like Fruit, Eggs, Cheese, Coffee, ‘Shrooms, Flowers, WinterShare and plant six-packs. Some items are limited so order soon.
Final payments were due last month for those who put down a deposit. Let me know if you need to know your balance due. We also have payment plans if that helps with budgeting.
We are looking for a full time or a couple part time workers for this season. If you or someone you know loves working outside, doesn’t mind getting dirty and has a lot of energy and enthusiasm, send them our way! It’s a great way to learn about farming if you are so inclined.
Farm News
For those of you who read this newsletter religiously, you may recall we’ve been having issues with the control system that runs our greenhouse. After a lot of experimentation and investigation we think we have it narrowed down to the exhaust fan. Sometimes when the exhaust fan shuts off the control system loses the ability to read some or all of the sensors. If we reboot the system everything works as intended. So we figured it must be the exhaust fan.
We’ve tried various means to mitigate the problem but nothing seems to work. So my latest idea is to replace the exhaust fan. Doing a search on the internet I found this web site called OnlyFans. I did not find a new fan but I did find a few new friends! They are kind of costly though. I think the new White House website OnlyFarms was the seed that germinated this dumb joke.
Other than coming up with lame jokes, we’ve been quite busy planting seeds in the greenhouse. So instead of describing all the seeding we are doing I figured I would just send pictures. So here you go!
I could post more pictures but after awhile it gets a bit redundant.
As always, feel free to send in questions, comments, suggestions, share orders or anything else you think would be fun or interesting.
Joke of the Week
A woman and her male neighbor each buy a greenhouse in which to grow vegetables. After a few months they meet up to talk about how things are going. The man says his tomatoes are big and red, but the woman says hers are still green and asks the man his secret.
He says, “Everyday I go in the greenhouse naked. The tomatoes are so embarrassed they blush”.
The woman thinks this is a good idea and decides to give it a go.
They meet again the following month and the man asks about her tomatoes.
She replies, “Still green but you should see my cucumbers!”
