The farmstand will be open this afternoon from 12:30- 5 pm. There is fresh bread baking. Garlic scallions and chives are new products.
Between yesterday and this morning we finished planting all the onions out to the field. Yes it is done by hand- just poke the little plants into the marks on the bed. We had about 125 flats of onions with 550 seeds planted in each flat. It gave 29 beds of onions in the field. The wet weather forcast is perfect for the plants to grow roots.
The asparagus is coming up however it is not ready for harvest yet. With the cool weather forcast I judge that it will be another week before harvest begins. The spinach that we overwintered in the field looks like it will have fairly large yield. It is about a week out yet before harvest. When asparagus harvest starts summer hours will begin at the farmstand. Daniel
