Our latest harvest from the farm: broccoli, spinach, kale, & collards. All were started from seed. We had to pull several spinach plants as they were starting to bolt. Despite that, they made a tasty salad. The kale went into a delicious lentil soup. Yum!

The broccoli are already beginning to form heads!

We harvested our first ears of corn (9!) today in celebration of Oliver’s birthday.  The first ear we ate raw right on the spot.  The kernals were still a little small but tasted sweet and tender.  We also had beet greens, beets, and collard greens from the farm with some smokey potato salad with Applefield’s potatoes.  What a fantastic dinner!

Today’s harvest:  Sweet 100 Tomatoes, French beans, broccoli, soy beans, 2 zucchini, eggplant, 2 beets, 2 carrots, 9 ears corn, collards, cilantro, basil, nasturtium flowers, onion greens

An early start not only avoids the blast of the sun, it affords beautiful views of country side.  In this barn at Pilot Grove Farm live a small flock of spring lambs.

Today we planted habanero peppers (x4), broccoli (x6), marigolds (x6), basil (x4), okra seeds, maxibel french beans, millet, and epazote.
