The online farmers market is open for orders. We have lots of nice salad greens from the greenhouse. The tomatoes and cucumbers look nice. It will probably be about a month till they they are ready. They do grow slower in cloudy weather. The asparagus is up but not ready to cut yet. Look for it starting next week through the middle of June.
We got all the onion and leek plants (about 15,000 plants) planted on Tuesday of last week. It was raining by the time we finished but we finished and they can enjoy the cool, moist weather to root fast. We are blessed in that there are many differant soil types on our farmground. The sandiest ground is the only soil that has been at all workable so far this spring. Daniel
