Repredicting
Ok, time to update my predictions for the season that I made in last week’s newsletter. As you may recall, I thought that some of the transplanted spring crops will be in shorter supply than usual. I need to update this prediction. Why? Because on Saturday and Sunday mornings we had below freezing temperatures here. […]
I Can Plant for Miles and Miles
What has been happening on the farm this week? Transplanting, transplanting, transplanting. I calculated we transplanted 13,760 plants the last two and a half days. That’s the most we have ever transplanted in recorded history (mostly since we have never actually recorded the number before). This would have been a good year to have a […]
Extra Extra, Read All About It

This creates a lot […]

A Recipe for Success!
In the past we had – and still do – a bunch of recipes – usually original or modified recipes – on our web site. I or another member of the farm had to type them in. A bit laborious but if the recipe is original it is the only way to post it. Over […]
