We finally got a little rain

 Crops look good; vine crops in particular have liked the dryish weather 

 I think we'll see corn tasseling soon.  I predict sweet corn July 25

 Still waiting on the snap peas,  sorry, it's going to be one more week wait on them 

Tomatoes starting to turn a little,  hopefully enough to sell first Saturday of July 

This week at the market I'll have rhubarb bread, squash bread and honey 

Email me if you'd like me to reserve you some bread or honey

Thank you 

Mill City Market 6/20

My life now consists of cultivating, hoeing, pruning, drip irrigating
 Still planting sweet corn weekly; until about July 9th
 The crops look good
We really really need rain

No snap peas this week.  The next patch is just starting to flower so I think July 27
I think there'll be tomatoes the first Saturday of July

So, this week at the market I'll have
Rhubarb and Squash bread; perfect Father's Day gift
 $15 per loaf,  $8 per half loaf
 Also 8 honey at $8,  2 for $15

If you'd like to preorder,  please email me at  nstlrfrm@frontiernet.net

Thank you

Saturday 6/13 Mill City farmers market

Tomatoes in the not so distant future.   I think just a couple weeks    It'll be an early season for all the greenhouse crops...plenty sun.   The snap peas are 2 weeks earlier than last year 

 Pumpkins and squash are emerging;  last year we didn't even have them planted until about the 10th of June.   

  Sweet corn is coming along nicely.   We're already cultivating and hoeing 

This week for preorder; 

  Squash bread and rhubarb bread 

15$ per loaf, 8$ per half loaf 

 Honey; $8 for 8oz jar,  2 for 15$ 

  Just email me your order 

 nstlrfrm@frontiernet.net 

I'm going to have some snap peas, but I can't take preorders on that.   We pick them Friday evening and I'm not really sure how much there'll be until we pick.   Last week I sold out in a half hour....  

I need to plant more snap peas

The season has been going well 

 I appreciate all the support 

Thank you

I've got a couple plantings of sweet corn in the ground, although nothing has emerged yet
 Snap peas look good.  I think I'll have some early June
 Tomatoes and melons have survived the cold nights.   Tomatoes forming lots of flowers os I'll have to get some bumble bees in there soon to pollinate

It'll be nice to get past this cold snap so I can be done with the row covers...  I hope

I was able to pull a little rhubarb
