Planning for Fall
Every season we create a crop plan that allows us to organize both the varieties and the timing for everything we will be planting. We are putting the finishing touches on our fall crop plan so that planting can begin very soon! Typically our first round of fall crops are those that are more heat tolerant and can weather the transition from summer to fall. This includes veggies like radishes, kale, arugula, bok choy, and turnips. Farmer Matt is especially looking forward to the first planting of carrots since they are his all-time favorite veggie. We hope you are as excited for this seasonal transition as we are!
We installed new plastic sheeting on the greenhouse this week in anticipation of fall planting. The greenhouse allows us to control the elements as much as possible with our seedlings which is vital during the first stages of life. The plastic sheeting protects our plants from wind and rain while also naturally and evenly diffusing sunlight. And, in the colder months, it helps to keep our seedlings warm. The greenhouse is vital to the lifecycle of our plants as it allows us to give them a stronger start which can lead to more robust plants and better tasting crops in the field!
