Good morning everybody!
Last night had me rushing out to the first night of my beautiful daughter's two part dance recital which concludes tonight. Watching my children whether in sports or onstage is amazing and makes me so proud! Between birthdays, sports, a plant sale and farming our springs have us running around like crazy! I have concluded that last years, every other week spring baskets were a better fit for our lifestyle and may return to that for next year with the likelihood of no plant sale and other additional extra's. We realize that we are the bosses here and have the option to make these changes, this year had us working a ridiculously unhealthy amount of hours. So, we have decided that we try, just for one year, to simplify Spring. Should be interesting!
Hasn't the weather been fantastic! Love it! This weeks baskets were many of the last crops from the greenhouse.
In your baskets this week:
Beet greens with the odd little beet but these were mostly grown for greens
Swiss Chard
Crispy lettuce blend (romaines, and crisp lettuce)
Chez Nous Salad Mix
Small Turnips
Juicing upgrade got: Beet, Kale, Romaine and Mint
Yesterday for lunch i made a smoothie with Avocado, Kale, Lettuce, Mint, Honey and Coconibs...Yummy!

| This Ruby Red Chard that I purchased from High Mowing Seeds this year is gorgeous! |
 |
| Every morning starts the same harvesting before crops get too warm. |
 |
| We've upgraded the outdoor seeding area with some new tables and shade cloth this year. Can you believe Fall crops such as Flower Sprouts have already been started? |
 |
| We are still chipping away at that potato field, all the reds have gone in. |
 |
| We purchased these very costly nets to protect cold crops subject to so many pests. These nets allow crops to stay cool and are sort of like a nylon fabric. I am hoping to get a few uses out of them. |
 |
| Broccoli should be baskets next week. Not all of them sized up as much as i would have liked...they didn't get in soon enough! Those leaves however look delicious! |
 |
| This bed of lettuce, which was planted in a soupy mess weeks ago is freshly weeded and ready to harvest for next week. |
 |
| Outdoor crops always have such vibrant colors compared to the greenhouse grown ones. |
 |
| We've got a bed of fennel growing |
 |
| Indoor tomatoes are full of tomatoes but outdoor tomatoes are catching up too! |
 |
| A nicely weeded onion bed- for once yay! Last's crop was overtaken by weeds not this year! |
 |
| Can you guess what is growing here? Hard to believe that the onions looked like this too. On my list for this weekend weed this celery bed! |
 |
| I am planning for a lot of cucumbers this year.
Well enjoy another beautiful weekend everybody! And thank you for your continued support, encouragement and patronage!
Shirley and Rick
