We’ve had a few inquiries as to when we’re going to open this year. That’s a million dollar question. I like to start planting cool weather crops like onions, lettuce, radishes, cabbage and peas mid April or so. This year weather didn’t cooperate. End of April I got sick and spent a couple days in the hospital, that set us back a bit too as when you get to be older than dirt you don’t bounce back real quick! Hubby has been having severe arthritic flare up so he runs the watering system and does the mowing. Had both my grandsons helping with the planting, but slow process this year. In spite of all the watering we are horribly dry. Those past two rains we had were such a blessing. We had almost no strawberries this year and they got a lot of water. Raspberries were few and far between, most plants didn’t even bloom. Our plum trees bloomed so pretty and we have zero plums on the trees, same for cherries! Ducks have destroyed our lettuce and then moved to cabbage which now has hoops over it to keep ducks away! We’ll see how many make it! Beans are just starting to produce a few. I didn’t plant as many so not sure how many will be available for sale. Beets are a bit spotty and way too tiny yet. Carrots will be very late what there is of them, they didn’t come up real good. For those interested in baby corn, it is not looking the best this year. It should be tasseled by now and isn’t. We’ll just have to wait it out. Tomatoes and peppers look awesome and are loaded but nothing ready yet. I pulled garlic and that is drying. Will only have limited amount to sell. We just picked our first few cucumbers yesterday. Hopefully will have some nice slicers by end of next week. Onions were late going in so won’t be pulling them for another 2-3 weeks. With all that in mind I will post when I have picked enough to sell. Any questions feel free to message me or call605-864-0267 and leave a message. I will call you back. Have a great day!
