We’re looking forward to June Brunch on the Farm, if you’re interested in attending please visit https://events.humanitix.com/june-brunch-on-the-farm
Friends, we’d like to close out the year by doing what farmers do best—planting! There’s still time to show your support and plant seeds for a great 2023. www.commongoodcityfarm.org/donate
While we have added mulch to many of the farm beds so they can rest for the winter, we still have salad greens, carrots, and other vegetables growing under the row cover for several beds!
As we look forward to 2021, can you help us start 2021 strong?
Support our work today making a donation at www.cgcf2020.org.

Posted @withregram • @bodhi_bless Planting a fall braising greens mix 🥗
We used kale, mustard greens, Napa cabbage, tat soi, arugula and a few other veggies for our blend but you can choose different greens to use as well.
First prepare the bed and dig shallow trenches in the soil. Then sow your greens mix and lightly cover the seeds with soil. Spread your straw mulch over the bed to keep the soil covered and happy. Water the bed to help the seeds begin the germination process. Harvest when leaves are young and tender. Can be eaten raw or cooked!
You can have multiple harvests from the braising greens and keep your salad supply continuous 👌🏽
