Week 12, 2014

It is hard to believe that it is already half way through the season.  Tomatoes in the greenhouse are getting larger and should soon start picking.  Our cauliflower trial did great and it looks like we will have a new veggie for farm produce.  Freemont was the variety and looks like a winner for us.  I only planted enough for a trial, but it looks like it will do fine.  The rutabagas should pick this week.  This was an effort from a trial last year.  We will see what everyone thinks about them.

The strawberry trial is doing better than I expected and it looks like there is an abundance of flowers forming.  I hope they will carry out to fruit.  I might consider planting them next year if they yield alright.  I will be trying melons again this year.  We will see what happens.  Last year they were planted in a field that had terrible fertility and hardly anything yielded produce.  So the trial was uncertain.  This year should be better.

Potatoes are just starting to sprout from the ground and we will be doing our next planting today.  This year is flying by and it is time to plant corn, beans, cucumbers, okra, peppers, squash and zucchini.
