We have officially turned our soil over and began planting outside of the greenhouse. Nearly one hundred pounds of potatoes are in the ground and we have a few hundred more to go. Our new raised beds are already full with Spanish chard, red and green cabbage, and strawberries (those are strawberries pictured with Sadie below).
Sarah planted peas along the creek this weekend as well as transplanted rhubarb (pictured below) to a more suitable home. I can already taste rhubarb pie and oh how my mouth is wat
ering!The next thing that
will need to be planted are things that will go straight into the ground, like corn and beans. If all goes well, our rows will be marked and laid out on Thursday and planting will begin on Friday. As soon as the remaining seed potatoes arrive, they to will go into the ground. (potato patch pictured above).We have a lot of work to do in the following weeks to ensure we are ready of our weekly Organic CSA Baskets.
