The days are getting longer, the snowbanks taller, my students are becoming more nomadic, and the wheels are starting to turn-- Hello, 2011!
The first few shipments of seeds are in to beat the Rush, which is a fantastic dilemma in itself; how great is it that seed companies selling out of stock! So, some of my favorites: Misato Rose (giant, sweet-hot, tri-color, storage) radishes, Romanesca cauliflower, sugar snap and snow peas, among others, are all here and waiting for those 60-degree soil temps... After the two feet of snow and crust disappear. The spreadsheets are cranking, and we've got a few exciting projects lining the distant horizon now that we've officially kicked off Quarter 3 of classes:
Sunday Morning Bouquets: Not bad for spending the night on the porch post wedding! (photo courtesy Liz Hand)
+ Growing and arranging flowers for Kate and Matt's wedding, and hopefully having lots of extra backup for Becky and Pete,
Of course, taxes have to happen sometime in between now and then, too (spreadsheets, check.) Looking forward to some warm summer days... They'll be here before we know it.
+ Contract growing cukes, picklers, cilantro, parsely, and serrano peppers for Koala Kitchens' zhug stock/pickle crocks,
+ And some great CSA buzz!
Don't hesitate to contact me if there is some exciting new crop you'd love to have for the summer, or you're interested in some extra bedfeet, custom-grown produce, "pick your own" arrangements, or help with your gardens-- we can work out just about anything, especially early on.
Also, here's an updated form for GPF's 2011 CSA: early payments save some bucks (and make a farmer happy!)
