Now I have something to show folks so will start promoting the CSA in earnest. Here is a sample of what is started. Clockwise from lower left on the right bench: lettuce, pac choi, lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli, swiss chard, more lettuces, Chinese cabbage, broccoli and leeks. From the leeks going up the middle are spinach and more lettuces.
I weeded the carrots that are in the hoophouse today, and planted out some cold hardy flower plants. Started potting up some of the younger tomato plants that are slated for bedding plant sales. I need to get stuff planted out to make more bench space for younger plants. Things are growing very well.
The overwintered spinach is still tender and incredibly good. I have a small plot of young salad mix that is at perfect size, and the older stuff is much loved by the hens, ducks, goslings, and chicks. I have to anchor the plants down for the young ones so they can pull off pieces, but for the adults I dump the plants into the duck pool or on the ground. If I have a blue rubbermaid in my hands I get mobbed by expectant hens, whether it is empty or full. They are fun.
