Growing Cities!

We are in a growing mood! And we had lots of sunshine today! Life is busy, but good!

We have done a lot of weeding this week! The following plots are weed free (for the moment!): Little Peaville, Spinach, Swiss Chard, Leeks, Cutting Garden, Onionville, and the Lettuces! Whew, those were a lot of weeds to pull!

We did more mulching! Little Peaville, Spinach, and the Beets plots now have straw mulch! We mulch with straw because we find it is healthy and as it decomposes over time it helps to feed the soil.

We also have been busy planting! Today we planted three varieties of carrots, two more rows of zucchini, and another two rows of green beans! Who loves to eat green beans while picking them? We are already looking forward to those crisp, tasty beans!

We like to recycle at Kindred Ground Farm! Two of Alex’s old teepees are now standing among the crops for what else, but the pole beans!

If you come to the farm for a visit you will notice we have three large fields or plots that we refer to as East 40, North 40, and West 40. However, our other big (but not quite as big) plots have names too: Onionville, Beatville, Peaville, and even Little Peaville! Imagine we have little cities and villages filled with growing veggies for you and your family this summer! We are excited! Are you?
