It’s been a while since I’ve had a moment to stop in at our online home. We’ve had a busy couple of months planting in the garden… You should see the tomato plants! They are getting so big. The corn is coming up, and we’ve put out starts for everything from canataloupe to winter squash. And of course if you’ve been to the Front Porch, you’ve seen the beautiful lettuce and spinach we’re getting already.
The last of the planting is nearly finished. And the weeding has already commenced. The potatoes were easy to weed. But the beets! If we could charge for the hours it actually takes us to weed the beets and carrots, they would be worth their weight in gold.
There’s not even a month left until the first CSA boxes will be ready for pickup (on Father’s Day weekend). So if you haven’t sent in your subscription money yet, hurry! There are only a few spots left. (Because we only have so much space in the cooler. And Marlys can only bake so many loaves of bread!)
And in the intervening weeks until you get your first box of food, be sure to stop in at the Front Porch for all your greens. Not to mention your eggs, honey, and dried fruit. You’ll find it all there–and we’re open five days a week now, Tuesday through Saturday. See you soon!
