Thank You!
by Farmer Derek
Planting garlic this past Friday during the most beautiful stretch of November weather I can recall.
This was one challenging season and we thank you so much for your support! We hope it provided tasty nourishment and was also a beacon of positivity during what could be interpreted as a bleak time. We always welcome feedback so if you have anything you'd like to share please do so. If we don't see you during the Late Fall, please have a good and healthy winter and we'll look forward to seeing you in the springtime (but don't rush it).
On the farm and in the fields many areas have been 'put to bed' for the wintertime. Cover crops have been established where available and very soon most of our harvests will come from the tunnels (if it ever actually turns cold). Though we love farming - the good, the bad, the frenetic, the frantic, the infinite work - we do relish the down time to reset and rejuvenate. Additionally we also have to plan for the following season by updating crop plans and schedules and the rotation, order seeds and supplies, make repairs, hire staff, and if we're lucky, take some time away. With the successful completion of the garlic planting and mulching last week, large outdoor tasks are now finished.
To prepare for Main Season 2021 we'll assess all aspects of this season, the successes and failures. We seem to remember the failures more and perhaps this will help us fix them for next season. Underperformers from this year that we'll be more careful with next year include sweet potatoes, garlic, summer celery, tomatoes, broccoli, caulifower, blackberries, and slow growing spring crops. Successes this year that resulted from growing modifications include fall arugula, turnips, and radishes that were transplanted instead of direct seeded. Successful crops from optimum soil health and weather include most fall crops like kale, chard, beets, lettuces, radicchio, carrots, kohlrabi, etc. Fall tunnel greens look stellar for the most part and we look forward to share these with you.
Happy Fall, Thanksgiving, Holidays, New Year, Solstice!
