In the summertime...

A few pics to show off. The bounty is great this year. Come by and take some of it home to share with your friends and family. Everything is fresh and delicious right now.

Harvesting the bounty

The growing year is not over yet!!

Harvesting cartloads of delicious salad greens, large head lettuces, sweet carrots, scrumptious baby beets, onions, various herbs, kale, chard, peas, beans and GARLIC!!

Still putting in lettuces, spinach, mustards and various other greens for late fall salads. The coldframes are getting prepped for those more delicate plants that will make it through the cold weather and the greenhouse is putting out some tomatoes, basil and peppers finally.

Also taking orders for blueberries and partridgeberries.

Come on by the farm store and pick something fresh up for your family. Open daily from 11-5.

The salad has arisen from the dark sandy loam of Eastport Organics. Finally!!

Kelp-fed Spinach & Lobster shell-fed Arugula. Two of my favourite things to munch on in Spring.

Well.

Outside now there are four cold-frames stuffed with Kelp-fed Spinach, Lobster shell-fed Arugula, Komatsuna, Drunken Woman Lettuce, Sweet Basil and Chard. In the greenhouse there are three tomatoe varieties, eggplants, cucumbers, rosemary, oregano, thyme, and two varieties of parsley started. In the house under lights are the rest of the early tomatoe's, more spinach just started, three varieties of hot sweet peppers, and some speckled butterhead lettuce.

The paddcok is coming along. Installed a bathtub for the boys to drink from (with a pump, hose and battery), finishing peeling the remainder of the logs for gates, supports and rails, burning up some brush leftover from this winters pruning and drinking tea by the fire this week also.


No photos to share this time, but there's no doubt the 2010 season is upon us here in The Shire.

Namaste.
