Gardening for 2017 is well underway. In the community garden we have a bed of beets, a bed of onions and a bed of salad greens started, and the other 4 beds are soon to be planted.
In the newly started 1/4 acre “Hart’s Mill Farm” the 100 lbs of potatoes that were planted in March on half the plot and are now well up, Deer fencing was put up around the other half and we have cabbages, bok choi, swiss chard, and tomatoes planted in one corner. The first of the bok choi went to market on Saturday, April 29. The remainder of this fenced area was just seeded in buckwheat cover crop, which will be mowed at the end of May and sweet potatoes planted.
