More news from the farm

Big happenings with us...First and most importantly, our garden grows quite nicely.

My fingers are crossed, but I haven’t seen a cucumber beetle yet this year. The only downside is that we planted a LOT of
hubbard squash. We did this because the cucumber beetles love the hubbard. The intent was that we’d attract the beetles to the hubbard instead of our precious cucumbers and summer squash. In the process we anticipated losing a lot of the big blue squash. Oh well. Lots of pumpkin pies for us.

In other news, our house in Greenfield (nope, we don’t live on the farm...yet) is going on the market this week. If you know anyone who’s looking for a nice house, we’re moving to the farm...

Lastly, we’re skipping the Thursday market because we don’t have enough to sell right now. We will be there Saturday and anticipate having the following:
This week:
Red Romaine Lettuce
Peas (hopefully shelling, snow and snap)
Sprouts (3 varieties, mild to hot)
Radishes
Garlic Scapes (last day)
Catnip
Thyme

 
 

Market Begins

We haven’t written anything in a long long time, but we've been super busy! Above is a picture of the edge of one of our fields. We’ve got a lot more this year than the last which brings us to the Ballston Spa farmer’s market.

Here’s the scoop on that:
Ballston Spa Farmer’s Market

I’m going to try to update weekly with what we have growing and what you can expect to see at our booth. That said...it’s always a slow start in June, but the squash and tomatoes will be here before we know it!

This week:
