In the Woods Market Garden

In the Woods Market Garden Specializing in naturally grown fruit and vegetables. Go to my website for CSA information! I am Certified Naturally Grown (CNG).

CNG is a grassroots organization that offers peer-review certification to farmers and beekeepers producing food, flowers, and fiber for their local communities by working in harmony with nature, without the use of synthetic chemicals or GMOs. I practice the no-till gardening method. I disturb the soil as little as possible, keep the garden planted as much as possible and if it can't be planted, ke

ep it covered with mulch. I use cover cropping to help with fertility and keep the soil biology fed and happy. They are the ones feeding the plants.

It was a cool start to the morning. I can feel fall in the air. Things are starting to die back too. The potatoes are starting to turn yellow, at least the German Butterballs are anyway. I will probably start pulling them in a couple weeks. If the tops are still green, they are still bulking up!
This week at CSA, I'll have beets, green onions, tomatoes, garlic, carrots, lettuce, cabbage, green beans, brussel sprouts, kale, swiss chard, cauliflower, leeks, yellow summer squash, cucumbers and eggs for the Superior location. Fresh herbs will be parsley, basil and dill.

I put a 5' fence around each apple tree. Hopefully, that will keep the deer from chewing on them. I pulled the garlic and some onions this week. They are in the barn drying. It is very aromatic in there now. 😊The cauliflower and brussel sprouts surprised me and I have a few of each of them for CSA this week. I'll also have beets, rutabaga, green onions, bok choy, head lettuce, cabbage, swiss chard, kale, green and yellow beans, leeks, cucumbers and fresh herbs of basil, parsley and dill.

I planted 3 Harrelson apple trees this week. The deer noticed and the next morning, the leaves were eaten off most of one of them. I guess I'll be putting a fence around the trees for a while. 😠The leaf lettuce went to seed so I w**d whacked it and replanted more. The head lettuce should be ready in a week or two. The tomatoes and cantaloupe are almost ready. They overcame the cold start. I can't believe it, but fall is just around the corner.
This week I'll have beets, rutabaga, green onions, bok choy, cabbage, peas, kale, swiss chard, yellow and green beans, leeks, cucumbers, yellow summer squash and eggs for the Foxboro pickup location. Fresh herbs will be chocolate and orange mint, parsley, basil and dill.

News Alert! It's really dry.
OK. Everyone knows that. Most things are growing really well, though. I'm watering each garden once a week. The irrigation pond is holding up, so far. This week I'll stop watering the squash since it's most susceptible to powdery mildew.
The produce this week will be beets, rutabaga, green onions, leaf lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, kohlrabi, kale, swiss chard, yellow and green beans, yellow summer squash, cucumbers and fresh herbs of orange and chocolate mint, oregano, sage, basil and parsley.

I don't feel like much happened in the garden this week. It's the time of year where I'm just w**ding and picking. Not bad, really. The peas get picked twice a week, beans 3 times a week, and cucumbers 4 times a week. Last year, the blueberries were all eaten by birds. This year, I put row covers on them and they are looking really good now. Next year, I'll have to build some kind of frame for it so it doesn't touch the leaves. They turned brown where they are touching. I should have some available in the CSA pickup this week, along with beets, rutabaga, green onions, garlic scapes, leaf lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, kohlrabi, turnips, swiss chard, kale, yellow and green beans, cucumbers and fresh herbs of orange and chocolate mint, chives, oregano, parsley and basil.

I planted the strawberry plants 4 years ago so it's time to renovate the bed. I pulled out the original plants that were on one side of the bed. The remaining plants will send out runner plants and that is what I will use to fill in the new row. I'll have to do the same thing next year to the other side of the bed. This is the first year I planted husk (or ground) cherries. I see a few of them forming. They still need to ripen up before I can pick them.
This is the first week of the Superior pickup location. I'll have beets, green onions, garlic scapes, leaf lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, peas, kohlrabi, turnips, kale, chard and fresh herbs of orange mint, oregano, chives, sage, basil and parsley. The Superior location will have eggs this week.

The watermelon and pepper plants were looking pretty bad up until now. With the cool June we had, I didn't think they were going to make it. Now that the heat of summer is finally here, the watermelon has recovered. There are a few pepper plants that look like they will make it. The cucumbers have a lot of blossoms on them. I can't wait to have a nice, crunchy cucumber.
For this week's produce, I'll have beets, green onions, garlic scapes, leaf lettuce, peas, kohlrabi, kale, swiss chard and turnips. The herbs will be orange and chocolate mint, oregano, chives, sage, basil and parsley.

This is my least favorite time in the garden. It was time to hill the potatoes. It always comes at the hottest time of the year. I usually just hill the potatoes with extra leaves I gathered last fall, but I didn't gather enough so I had to mound up dirt from the side of the bed. As I always do when I'm lazy and don't want to do something, I wondered if I really need to hill potatoes at all. Once I was done, I got on the googles and looked up information. Turns out, there are 2 kinds of potatoes (just like tomatoes): determinate and indeterminate. You need to hill indeterminate potatoes because the potato forms on the stem of the potato plant and the more you hill, the longer the stem will be so you will get more potatoes. Determinate plants only form potatoes in one horizontal layer, right above the seed potato that was planted. Therefore, no need for hilling. The only indeterminate variety I have is German Butterball. I'll replace that variety next year with a determinate kind so I don't have to hill anymore.
Ok, enough science talk for one post. Potatoes won't be ready to dig for at least a month. What I have this week is radish, green onions, garlic scapes, leaf lettuce, kohlrabi, kale, swiss chard, strawberries, fresh herbs of chamomile, orange mint, chives, oregano, sage, parsley, basil and cilantro. Once again, I will have eggs.

It's the time of year where strawberries need to get picked every day. A few of them never make it to my bucket. The peas and tomatoes get trellised once a week also. I've started checking my potatoes for potato bugs. So far, so good. They might be a little late because it's been a cool spring/summer???? This is the last week for rhubarb.
This week's produce will be garlic scapes, green onions, radish, strawberries, rhubarb, leaf lettuce, kohlrabi, kale, swiss chard and fresh herbs of orange mint, chives, oregano, parsley, basil and cilantro. Eggs are available this week as well.

I've started to integrate the little chicks with the big girls. So far, so good. Boots keeps her eye on them from outside the run. I've started to see a few strawberries turning red. I confess, I've tried one and they taste amazing. It will be another week before they are ready for the CSA pickup. What I will have this week is radish, spinach, arugula, rhubarb, kale, swiss chard and fresh herbs of parsley, cilantro, sage, chives, oregano and orange mint. I have eggs this week, too.
