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!
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
Things are looking happy at the farm. Our collards in particular are settling well into their new home.
Today we planted shallots, artichoke seedlings, jalepeno seedlings, cayenne seedlings, ancho (poblano) seedlings, tomato plants, a marigold, and Jacob’s cattle beans from Old Sturbridge Village.
Our first seedlings were released today. The Beets and Georgia Collards were planted on this drizzly day.
