I have not been able to write as regularly here as I would like. We have been amazingly busy implementing new strategies at work, and then took a quick weekend trip for a family gathering over the Fourth holiday.
We have been very fortunate this year. Our garden is flourishing above and beyond years' past and today we put out our third farm bag of the season! Last year our first bag came out the middle of July! I love to be able to look back year to year at photos. The above photo is our garden as of July 15th last year. The top photo was our garden this afternoon.
Most of the individual pictures and details of the farm bags along with recipe ideas are being shared over on our Aisling SmallHolding facebook page, but to summarize: our farm bags in the early part of this season have consisted of lots of salad greens, green onions, kohlrabi, bok choi, green garlic, garlic scapes, radishes, beets, dill, thyme, lavender, sugar snap peas, and a few baby carrots. Our tomato plants have already set tons of tomatoes, some are just beginning to blush with color. We harvested our first few eggplant this week, the chickpeas look to be getting close, and it seems we will have a bumper crop of raspberries. It is so rewarding to walk through this years plot and just breathe. We seem to be getting the hang of this thing!
