Seeds in the ground

Dave managed to get seeds in the ground yesterday just before all this rain. He planted carrots, red beets, swiss chard, Grand Rapids and Buttercrunch lettuce.

Seedlings are up!

Dave tells us that the red beets, swiss chard, peas and lettuce are up!

Spring Seeding

Spring seeding - What's in the ground?
Peas (4 rows of Edible Pod Super Sugar snap Peas from TnT Seeds)
Carrots
Beets
Lettuce
&
Swiss Chard

Approximately 600 lbs

We now have donated approximately 600 lbs and have beets, carrots and the majority of our tomatoes yet to harvest.

The weather is still wet and temperatures are cooling. We have had to prune our tomatoes hoping to encourage ripening. The danger of frost is lurking and we have a contingency plan should we need to harvest the tomatoes before they are ripened.

The beans have finished and the peas are nearing the end. Lettuce is still growing and we have harvested a few eggplants.

We have seeded radishes two weeks ago and plan to have an early fall crop to harvest.

The apple trees on site are nearing ready for picking. We'd love to have extra help when it comes time for this. Let us know if you are able to help!

Emergence

Peas are up!

So are the beets!

Lettuce, spinach and carrots have begun to emerge. We dug down to check on the beans and they have germinated.

And the tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and marigolds are beautiful.

planting

After a setback of snowfall, the planting of the garden has begun in earnest. Carrots, beets, spinach and lettuce have been planted and peas and beans will be in the ground this evening. The peppers and eggplant have been transplanted as they have outgrown their pots. Tomatoes, peppers and eggplant will be planted outdoors once the chance of frost has passed (typically, after this upcoming weekend).
