I like springtime


This post expired on April 14, 2024.

I have a limited amout of salad greens ready to eat from the greenhouse. I plan to mix a batch of salad greens on Thursday.(See market page of Martinsfarmstand to order) We plan to open the stand here at the farm the first week in May as soon as the asparagus is ready. I planted the first planting of about 20 lbs of pea seed on Saturday evening. (I plant peas no-till right into the old crop residue as it is still to wet to till ground). They should be ready to eat in about 70-75 days. The overwintered spinach came out of the ice and looks as green and nice as it did in the fall. The sweet tender new growth should be ready to eat in May. In the greenhouse there are flowers on the tomatoes. It takes 7-8 weeks from this stage to ripe tomatoes. The cucumbers also look good.Daniel
