CSA field notes week 15
Posted 9/20/2011 11:42am by Tracy Hayhurst.
Hi Folks,
Well, we're at week 15 and the final planting of fall greens like spinach, baby kale, broccoli raab, arugula, salad mix, mustard greens, and baby turnips are all in the ground. The land was finally dry enough to drive on with the tractor to mow down old crops, chisel plow and rototill to prep ground for planting. We also found time between the weekly harvests, to bulk harvest the winter squash (looks like a terrific crop!) and finish the onion harvest.
We'll attempt this week to start spreading compost and prepping ground for our garlic and winter cover crops. If the weather turns wet we'll sit in the greenhouse and chop the stems of garlic and divide it into seed for planting and bulbs to give out in the shares.
This week's pictures: Baxter and Dan direct seeding kale.
