We’ve been planting like crazy these days at the farm. We hope to get the last of the 600 tomatoes in today. We have a rainbow of colors and varieties to plant this year including yellow, orange, green, black, red, and cream. I think tomatoes are one of the most anticipated vegetables of the garden. They have so many uses, flavors, and colors to use in many different ways…mmm the anticipation!
The peppers are getting settled into their hothouse for the summer and promise us of their prized color and flavors this summer. Hundreds of brassica plants were planted over the last few weeks including cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts. Several thousand onions have also been planted in attempt to last the CSA and farm all year long. And the first round of cucumbers, summer squash and zucchini transplants were planted by the boys and I last week.
So the garden spaces are filling up fast but we hope to have the majority of things in by this Friday. I started winter squash this year in the greenhouse and am looking forward to putting these starts out soon in order to have them be ahead of the weeds.
This weekend, the farm is a pit stop on the Spree Bike Tour that travels through rural Buffalo County. Over 300 bicyclists will pass by the farm in the morning and will stop here for drinks and snacks. Every year, more interesting events are coming to the rural countryside as folks appreciate the training challenge of the hill climbs and its natural beauty.
This weekend, the family and I will make a road trip to Milwaukee for a family wedding; hence the push in planting during the week. It’ll be a long weekend, but a short family vacation before things really get busy here.
Enjoy the sunshine!
