In the last month I have planted bell peppers, leeks, green beans, corn, southern peas, the last of the lettuces, beets, more carrots, more cabbage, watermelons, cantaloupes, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers. Hopefully we will start to see some of this produce arriving to the tables for pick up in the next months, and I continually hope that one season we might harvest melons. I nearly gave up on organic strawberries and finally figured things out, so I still hope in the melons that things will come together correctly to get a harvest. In fact, just the other week I was driving the tractor through the field from last year and there were two harvestable size watermelons sitting in the field. I brought them home and they were past ripeness, so I guess there is possibility still.
We are entering our typical spring slow down but it looks like we are in a little better shape this year. We will have onions and potatoes to fill in the gaps of some of the things like lettuce that we won't see until next year. It is nice to be finished with planting for this year as I should be done this weekend with everything in the field or greenhouse until we start planting again in the late summer for our next season. Yeah!
