CSA Week #6

I can never decide if watermelons are worth the amount of space they take up.... until, of course, we eat them at the end of summer.  Then I'm convinced all over again about how delicious they are and worth their space in the garden.

Cara is always up for hanging out in the garden with me.

The ground cherries this year have been super plentiful -- it's amazing how much only three plants produce!  In my opinion, they are best covered in chocolate.

There's nothing like the morning in the gardens.

In other exciting news, our fig tree is producing!  We may actually get to eat some homegrown figs this year!

CSA Week #1 & Spring on the Farm

Last week was the first CSA share pick-up of the season at Knapp Homestead.  It was a good early harvest of greens, mostly.

First share: head lettuce, baby radicchio, baby spinach, arugula, picnic radishes, kale, microgreens, and a potted herb seedling.

Other spring images from around the market garden...

Leaf and head lettuces planted out early spring in low tunnels.

Our personal potato crop is looking great this year.

We've also started a small strawberry patch of Seascape strawberries.  I'm looking forward to a long summer season of continuous harvest from these.
