These are some pics from the local Roots CSA where I farm. As you can see, we have lots of lettuce to provide to our shareholders and then some.We have lots of cucumber plants as well. I lost count but we have some cool varieties such as Dragon's Egg, Lemon, Hmong, Diva, Straight Eight, and yes, we have lots of pickling cukes.
The 100+ tomato plants are now a jungle but doing very well...Each year I tell myself I will get them all staked before they get out of control....oh well...maybe next year.
I never realized how good Swiss Chard is if you know how to prepare it...I am a huge fan now!
This is one of our basil beds....it smells fabulous!
The asian greens are one green I never really paid much attention to until now. I had some seed from the previous farmer's supply and decided to give them a try. I am impressed. Of course you can stir-fry them but they are most excellent lightly blended with lettuce greens, some finely sliced radish, and a tad bit of Arugula. The blend also makes a fantastic filler for wraps. I like to add a little ranch dressing and some pulled chicken.

ReplyDeleteWhen do you start peppers in your greenhouse?
ReplyDeleteThanks
Bob
Happy holidays to you too Dan!
ReplyDeleteHi Bob, I usually start my peppers indoors under growlights in late January or early February and then I move them to the greenhouse in mid March and transplant them in mid May.
ReplyDeleteHhey Sunny, I got blight in my tomato barrels last Summer, probably cause I used blighted maple leaves in my conpost pile. Any cure? if not, what can I plant in its place that isn't subject to blight?
