So I haven’t had much opportunity to write very much this season
Sorry about that, crappy internet access and long days don’t mix very well…
We finally had a freeze though… I even heard the weatherman say that the station would no longer issue frost-freeze advisories since all the vegetation is dead!
But today, our trusty and spectacular crew finished our new greenhouse! I’ll try to get some pics up. Thanks to all of our supportive customers and loyal CSAers we can finally complete the next stage of our greenhouse build. When all is said and done we will have 2 new greenhouses (unheated, so really they’re called hoophouses) in which to grow greens and other crops like tomatoes or more okra!
I think this will really help with a more steady supply of lettuce mix and spinach which we really struggled to supply on a a consistant basis. This also means that we will now go into serious planning for a winter CSA (for NEXT YEAR). We’ve had a lot of inquiries as to the status of a winter CSA, but it seems like whenever we want to try to get ready, we either run out of production space or have a crop loss that would make it more difficult.
Thanks to everyone who filled out our 2009 Survey too- if you haven’t received the correct link or are having problems please let Rebecca know.
