Microgreens: little vunder plants that are almost always in season.

Sometimes we wonder if we should stop growing them because they’re kinda their own finicky thing taking up room in the greenhouse and demanding attention when we’re being pulled in other directions. But then we wonder, what would a world without microgreens be like, and it’s too scary to even consider.

Our mix of peashoots, sunflower shoots, and radish shoots is just such a tasty, healthy addition to literally any meal and is especially beloved during this time of year when fresh things are hard to come by. They’re mini plants packing a mighty nutrient punch, a little crunch, and a lot of flavor. It’s why we can’t quit them.

Find them at the and at Thursday Midcity

The fields are finally dry enough to start planting and seeding into! 20 beds done today. Woohoo! 🥳

09/10/2024

Remaking beds before the storm fills up our fields with even more water. These beds were cover cropped all summer and have had tarps on them for 2-3 weeks. There’s a lot of material that’s not broken down yet, and some areas of the aisles are super muddy, but Austin persevered. 💪🏽

We re-tarped after bed shaping to try to keep them as dry as possible in hopes that we can plant into them next week. We also dug ditches around the front and rear perimeters to help with drainage.

More storm prep tomorrow. What are y’all doing to prepare your farms?

We’re back and we brought a few plants from our friends in Georgia with us.

Yesterday we assembled 8 racks, loaded 216 trays (totaling 18,520 plugs), and drove 509 miles in a U-Haul. We unloaded the trays today and will be planting all those plants over the next month.

We struggle with getting good germination this time of year, so buying in plants from a farm in a cooler climate gives us a head start for our first round of fall crops before we start our own seedlings in September.

Let the fall season begin!

Carrots! First harvest this fall. Many more to come.🥕💦 #carrots #weneedarootwasher

Taking down sorghum sudan grass cover crop with a brush cutter. Our mower bit the dust this summer and we’ve been making do while we wait for insurance. This is slow but does a thorough job.

The little mower that could (kinda) - taking down the cover crops on the market garden beds that are too close together for the tractor. 🚜🌱

We had a 2000lb super sac of organic fertilizer that needed to go in this new field before we do another cover crop seeding. The plan was to use the cone spreader on the tractor but then the tractor broke and is in the shop and it rained and rained and the field is too wet for a tractor anyway. So we did it by hand this morning. Here’s Cheryl flinging the last bucket. Now it’s time for a nap.

Sunday morning shallot cleaning.

She’s more than just a farmer.

Bringing back the broad fork! After 2 years of avoiding this tool, we decided our beds need a little oxygen. We’re turning over tons of beds these days, so the broad forks are getting a lot of use. And we’re getting a workout!

Carrots love a freeze, and Cheryl loves a carrot.

Yesterday’s 80 degree temps caused the sprouting broccoli to flower super fast. Luckily the flowers taste delicious, to us and to the bees! We’ll have lots of broccoli for farm shares and veggies boxes on Tuesday.

@romeenterprise has the special touch with the bucket loader. Covering the front block with bagasse to hopefully raise the elevation of the beds for better drainage next season.
