Hey friends,
First post for the Kettle Pond Farmers! The season is beginning and today we planted onions with the help of Janis, one of our very own CSA members! Nancy and Angela also helped out making today an especially productive day. Our neighbor Andrea has kindly let us use her greenhouse until ours is heated, hopefully it will be up and running by late next week...This week we turned over some earth to prepare for the planting of fava beans and peas in early April. The soil is looking good and tasting good too!
Next week the greenhouse work really picks up meaning good eats on the horizon. The baby chicks will be here by Wednesday next week and should by laying by late July or early August. Also we now have a puppy! Max, a year old Puggle, has joined our ranks and is ready to protect us from hungry deer (they love to eat squash flowers...). Thats all for now...
Peave, love and farming,
~Stephen
