Mid-Season 2016-17

We have passed the half-way point of the season and so far things are going and growing well.  Lettuce, strawberries, Chinese cabbage, zucchini, bok choi, kohlrabi, roselle, green beans, diakon, have done very well.  Carrots will be picking for the first week this Saturday in week 13.  Beets will be ready in a few more weeks.  Still no kale but I have some seedlings that I hope will transplant soon.  I have started the watermelon, cantaloupe, dill, peppers and eggplants for the warmer weather like mid-February.  I will place an order for a few different squash I want to try this spring.  I am also going to give lima beans a shot.  The snow peas that were planted about a month ago are growing well even though it has been warm.  I hope to plant more cucumbers in the greenhouse.  The potatoes have been in the ground for nearly three weeks and haven't reached the surface yet.

Here are a few pictures from the farm in the last few weeks.
