Farm News! 

This seems (knock on wood) to be a great year for potatoes!  We planted over 200 pounds of seed potato and the plants are growing like crazy!   Here are 4 rows of potato plants that we have growing behind the hoop houses.  There are also 2 longer rows planted in the upper field.

Potatoes

As you can see from the photo, the weeds are also growing like crazy.  We weed within the rows with hoes as well as hand-weeding.  As for the weeds growing between the rows?  A lawn mower is used to keep the walk ways under control.

Sunflowers!

This sunflower caught my eye today and I had to share it!

Photogenic Sunflower

 

Hope to see you at the market!
