Going head first into week 1 of CSA

The first week of CSA has sprung upon us! This is a new milestone for Oakmanor Farm.
This week we will have mostly greens; lettuce, spinach, kale and swiss chard. Though we will also have rhubarb (remember to chop up and freeze some to have for pies and such during the off season), onions and plenty of herbs, and also (maybe) some broccoli! If no broccoli this week, then some next week.

And to the barn animals (or should I say pasture animals?):
Nothing too new with the cows, other than the fact that they love being out on pasture. all the horses are together now to enjoy a field grass. The pigs...nothing new.  The ducks though do have a new surprise; we have five new ducklings!

I know in this picture there appears to be six ducklings, but one went missing.




And about the gardens...

All the tomatoes have been planted -- yay! Along with the summer squash (zucchini), and herbs, flowers, chinese cabbage and bok choy. Also our little patch of strawberries is doing well. Within a few weeks they should grow to full size and turn red.
