This weather can leave us scratching our
heads! Last week got up @ 3:30 a.m. to run the irrigation to keep the
Strawberries from freezing (22 degrees). Yesterday and today we have
run the irrigation to keep the strawberries from getting too hot (92
degrees)! Strawberries are in full bloom! Probably about 3 weeks until
we are picking. Busy getting new beds ready to summer veggies. New
Raspberries arrived today to replace those that didn't make it last
year. Lots to do before it rains Thursday night.

Is Spring finally here? We can finally
uncover the Strawberry patch! We are still a couple of weeks away from
picking, I'll know more once we uncover. This warm weather should bring
the Strawberries along now. We are busy getting ground ready for the
next round of crops. Tomato, Pepper, and other garden transplants will
be here this week! We are open from 9am-5pm Monday-Saturday. See you
at the farm!

Sunshine is back! Crazy weather, we actually
got about an hour's worth of snow/sleet last night. We have had some
snow/sleet combination for the last 5 weeks! Yesterday we started
making the doors for the new high tunnel, it is almost finished. We got
the rest of the Broccoli and all of the Cauliflower in the ground
yesterday. As soon as the field dries we will finish the Cabbage and
Kale. More seeds started in the Greenhouse: Lettuce, Spinach, Kale,
Yellow Beans, Green Beans, Yellow Squash, and Green Squash. More seeds

Yesterday was a busy day. We adjusted the
poly on one section of the new high tunnel and spent the rest of the day
tightening the ropes that hold the plastic on. At 3:30 this a.m. it
was 22 degrees. Turned on the drip tape in the strawberry patch. The
"heat" of the irrigation water will give us a couple of degrees of
protection under the covers on the strawberries. The irrigation water
isn't heated, but 58 degree well water
is warmer than 22 degrees. The strawberries are starting to bloom so we

Lots done on the Farm today: We got the poly
on the new Haygrove High Tunnel. It got a little hairy once the wind
picked up, but we got it done. One side needs to be adjusted first
thing one morning when the wind isn't blowing. Now it just needs the
side skirts and doors put on and we are done! 1850 Broccoli plants in
the ground too!
