A new project this spring.

Getting fresh water to wash the produce...A produce washing station...what I always wanted!

Did someone say flash flood ?

 June 1st we woke up to this!

 We tried to use logs to divert the water.

Week 4

Oh we are so thankful for greens! Today in the box we have strawberries, romane lettuce, butter crunch head lettuce, dill weed, baby Swiss chard, mixed lettuce greens, Bok Choy, green onions, cilantro, some of you received asparagus and/or broccoli. 

Also I forgot to show it above but you all had a bag of fenugreek sprouts.

Week 3

Today our boxes our filled with romaine head lettuce, basil, rhubarb, mixed green lettuce, strawberries, kale, fresh dill, green onions, parsley, broccoli, aspagus (not in all boxes), and spearmint. Enjoy!

Highlights and lowlights this spring

The onions came along beautifully! And we were able to get in the garden shortly after Easter, mid-April. The early cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli is going in the ground.

 Potatoes were put in very early.

Then came a BIG wind storm, May 8th...  It pulled the greenhouse anchors out of the ground and over went all the plants!

Thankfully most were salvageable. But many were droopy looking and needed some tender care.

We were able to get the tomatoes in the ground the middle of May.

 

I have a great little helper!! Two of them in fact but one isn't so little :) 

Then came our first wash out. This is a newly tilled and planted area of popcorn. Needless to say we lost a few rows.

More planted...here the sweet potatoes are planted under black plastic. They like a hot humid environment, so this is our way of creating it for them.

Week 2

Today in the box we give thanks for spinach, bok Choy, mixed greens, sauerkraut, chamomile (see recipe), dill, green onions, rhubarb, and tomato jelly(use for basting on your favorite grill item). Also in 1/2 share there was fennel seed.

The start of the season 2014

Welcome to a new season at Harvest Blessings Farm! We are looking forward to this season and all that God has in store for us. Thank you for being a part of this adventure.

In the box this week we have plum jelly, basil, fennel seed, green onions (large ones), asparagus (some boxes did not have), spearmint, mixed greens, bean sprouts, rhubarb, leeks, and radish (some boxes did not have).
