Just a quick blog today… planted 600 head of lettuce yesterday AFTER the rain passed through- one little poke into the soggy soil and then the next… and then the next… thank goodness for raised beds and pathways with mulch. Also planted broccoli and cabbage outside, finally. Maybe today I’ll take a break from office stuff to go plant a few thousand more…
LOTS of interest about the farm at the Expo in Shawnee last weekend. Oh-my-goodnes-couldn’t-keep-up-with-the-questions-kind-of-crowd! Sold out of asparagus in the first hour, went home with extra bags of spinach to munch on this week… yum yum. We gained new CSA members also! Great day.
Is anyone available to help us set up at the Expo this Saturday at Penn Valley? Anyone coming to the event? We need a few people to help carry in plants and veggies- apparently, all the vendors have to use a 4×6 elevator, or the stairs to get in. Yikes! Setup is 8:30-9:30.
Have a great day- Ami
Hi Ami. Congrats on your new members! If you still need help tomorrow morning @ Penn Valley, both Glenn and I are available. Look forward to hearing from you. Andrea Adams
We would LOVE your help! We love your enthusiasm for our farming venture- I’ll call you later. Heading out to the farm now. – Ami
Any chance you still have CSA memberships left? (Overland Park or even Brookside…?)
We still are taking members at Brookside- which opens this next Saturday (April 21st).
