More Seed Planting

Posted in Farm updates at 3:00 pm by Administrator

We did another seed planting yesterday which included Broccoli (early), Brussel Sprouts, Mesclun mild, Mesclun Spicy, Lettuce Royal oak leaf and some herbs including Sage, Oregano, Thyme and Marjoram.
Our field drip tape has arrived along with a new product we are going to try this year. It is a biodegradable black mulch which is made from corn starch. It degrades in about three months after contact with the soil and is organic certified. This should help us heat the soil and control weeds for our vegetables but still give us an opportunity to seed our legume fertilizer and get it established before winter. We will be using 4000 feet of this product so hopefully it will be a success or Sheree is going to be awfully tired again this year pulling weeds.

Seeds Sprouting

Seeds Sprouting

We have planted seed for our lettuce, pak choy, kale, cabbage, cauliflower, mustard greens and have chitted some of our potatoes.
The pigs now know where home is so we are letting them out a few hours a day to get acclimatized. Their little legs don’t do well in the deep snow so they are using the chicken paths to explore but I don’t think the chickens are willing to share their roadways without a toll being paid.
