More bean harvesting action

26 Apr 202310 Aug 2007 by Mike (tfb)
Picking snap beans

The First Shift—today, it’s Sherry and Andrea—picks Indy Gold beans in the early afternoon (Conall’s pulling weeds). On Fridays, everyone comes at different overlapping times, usually from the mid-morning on. Most Fridays so far have been sunny and hot, so … Read the rest

Mesclun on my mind

6 Dec 20189 Aug 2007 by Mike (tfb)
Lettuce mix

Mesclun remains the mainstay crop on this tiny farm. What I grow is perhaps not strictly “mesclun”, it’s nine varieties of lettuce with no other, more exotic greens—arugula, mizuna, and so forth—mixed in. Also, at times if it gets away … Read the rest

Pulling onions

25 Apr 20238 Aug 2007 by Mike (tfb)

Started the full onion harvest today. This is about half the crop, pulled and layed out to dry (although, with NO RAIN, drying is hardly an issue). Above, it’s peppers and eggplant; at the top left, an almost depleted section … Read the rest

Fall brassicas

Newly released from row cover, five new beds of brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale) get ready for Fall. Beyond, tomatoes (and beyond that, the farm across the road, they gather honey). In front, a vacated section that contained the season’s … Read the rest

Anti-raccoon measures

26 Apr 20235 Aug 2007 by Mike (tfb)
Electric fenced corn

Finally strung up the electric fence to protect the corn from raccoons. Powering the short, hopefully sharp shocks is a solar-charged controller. The lower wire is place about 6″ (15cm) from the ground, with a second strand about 10″ (25cm) … Read the rest

Last of the seedlings

26 Apr 20234 Aug 2007 by Mike (tfb)
Red Russian kale

A tray of Red Russian kale are the last transplant seedlings for this year. It’s extremely late to be planting this out now, but RR is a fast grower, there’s space, and it’s always fun (and good experience) to see … Read the rest
