This was another wet week, so mostly it was
harvesting for distributions and a day of hand weeding greens for fall.
Soon it'll be time to spread compost and seed cover crops for winter,
with 2012 in mind... Thank goodness for such a great crew, harvesting
in pounding rains, cheerfully learning the "ins and outs" of farming in
the extremes of a new New England climate. Will the rains only come
harder next year? Will it be a drought? We wonder and will plant
accordingly. Some on the low, some on the high. Wouldn't it be great
to have an easy year, 1 inch of rain per week, with a dry spell in
August?
This week's picture: direct seeded fall turnips coming up next to the leeks.
Here's the approximate share for week
16:
onions
carrots
beets
chard/ salad mix
collards/ broccoli greens
peppers
hot peppers
potatoes
winter squash
garlic
fennel
cabbage (small, thanks to excessive rains)
lemon balm
leeks
Enjoy!
