Busy time of year

Spending more time outside now, with plants to plant, and lawns to mow. Oh, and Market to attend!
This week was the second market. Many people were surprised to see that we had lettuce and spinach already. The radish's were beautiful--if I do say so myself-- along with, my favorite, romaine lettuce and, of course, kale. We also had a lot of transplants at the market, next week we will only bring herb and tomato transplants. A lot of the transplants left over from market have been planted into the garden, so I hope no one at the market wanted swiss chard, broccoli or lettuce transplants!

In the past few days, we have planted onions, flowers, swiss chard, cilantro, parsley, radish, beets, mesclun mix, spicy greens mix, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower.  And last week we planted potatoes and strawberries.

And the weather here has been very nice, not too warm, or rainy! Though the other night we did have an incredible thunder and lightning storm.

And our CSA should start in about a week and a half.
These are a few of the products that we will have at the time of our first CSA week:
kale
lettuce
swiss chard
cilantro
peppermint
thyme
oregano
and probably many more things, but we will have to wait and see on June 15th!
