Blackberries

Due to the extreme weather conditions this spring and the hot weather we are having now, we will not have any blackberriesthis year. Hopefully next year will be better for them.
The garden is also suffering from the heat. We will be taking our produce to the Farmers Markets in Cabool, Ava and Mtn. Grove. Hopefully the tomatoes will take off and we will have them at the farm, but for now it is just at the Farmers Markets.

What's happening on the farm

We had a busy week. We got the potatoes planted before the rain moved in. We have been pulling weeds in the strawberries, planting peas, lettuce, cabbage and a lot of other things that I can't remember right now. The onions are looking good. The produce that we planted in the high tunnel is growing, growing, growing. We even have little tomatoes (and I can't wait for that bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich). The hanging baskets are beautiful,(we need more sun). If you need vegetable bedding plants stop by and take a look at the different varieties we have. It is time to get your freezer cleaned out to make room for strawberries. That time is right around the corner. We have lots of blooms. You can also find us at the following Farmers Market. Cabool Farmers Market (Gateway Park) Wednesday 11:00 till 4:30 Ava Farmers Market (on the square) Saturday 7:00 till 12:00 Mtn. Grove Farmers Market (on the square) Saturday 7:00 till 12:00 (starting May 7).

Spring begins

The hanging baskets are finally starting to grow. All they needed was some sun and warmer temps. There will be lots of pretty colors. Some are already starting to bloom.
The tomatoes , onions and other things in the high tunnel are growing. I am ready for a good tomato sandwich.
The strawberries are looking good. I just hope we don't have a cold spell because I really don't like putting the row covers on.
Our slack time is over (like there is ever slack time on a farm). Time to get to work.

Food Safety Workshop

There will be a Food Safety Workshop on March 10, 2011 from 1:00 til 4:00 at the Missouri State University Fruit Experiment Station in Mtn. Grove, Mo.
For more information www.mtngrv.missouristate.edu.

We attended the Mid America Strawberry Growers Association Conference in Branson. This was an excellent meeting with lots of good information and great speakers.
The hanging baskets are growing in the greenhouse, but could use more sunshine.
The onions and the tomatoes in the high tunnel are growing.
We got all the onions planted in the field last week and took the row covers off of the strawberries.

A new year

Well here we are 2011. It is gonna be a busy season. We already have tomato plants coming up.We will be planting these in the high tunnel. We also got the onions for the high tunnel. We hope to have some early produce when the Farmers Market starts in April.
We will be busy over the next couple of months with workshops and conferences, plus getting the rest of the seeds started and set in the garden when the time gets here.
We will see everyone in the spring.
