7/4/20 Tomatoes!

  Yes, it's true
 I'll have a few.   I'm going to sell them in 2lb increments; $10
 I'll have some snap peas this week $8 per lb     This will be it on the snap peas.
 Rhubarb and squash bread too
 I'm sorry, no preorders this week, awful busy and I'm not sure on quantities until late Friday.
In a few weeks I should be able to take preorders on the tomatoes
  I'm working on a mid week pickup location too.  
Sweet corn is tasseling, so late July;  maybe the 25th
  Nice rain this week; 2 inches.   About perfect really

2lbs tomatoes

6/27/20

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

My life now consists of cultivating, hoeing, pruning, drip irrigating
 Still planting sweet corn weekly; until about July 9th

Rhubarb and Squash bread; perfect Father's Day gift
 $15 per loaf,  $8 per half loaf
 Also 8 honey at $8,  2 for $15

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'll have squash bread and rhubarb bread

 Honey;  I'm out of the large honey; have enough 8 oz jars for a couple more weeks, then we'll have to wait on the bees....maybe mid July

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
