A couple pics from today.

We picked the bulk of our onions, including our ‘keepers’ (Patterson) that will hopefully last most of the winter in our basement storage. We also have Blush, Candy, Red Zeppelin, and Yellow Spanish.

And now, in the cooler and less smoky hours of the day, it’s time for the last pick of this batch of beans.

The first cutting of broccoli is ready!! 💚🥦💚🥦

It took 12 heads to fill my 59 cup bowl with florets; wonder what we’ll end up with!?!

I’m happy it’s nice enough to work this broccoli outside in the shade, enjoying the breeze. Next I’ll be blanching and freezing!

Baby beans and blooms everywhere! 💚💚

The garden is looking great. At the moment, it feels like we have a good handle on everything. Weeds managed, grass down, plants thriving. Kind of the calm before the food preservation storm and before we get to a point where we let the weeds win (August, that usually happens in August…)

How are your flowers/garden plants doing so far?!?

Here’s a peek at a few of the petunias hanging out in the greenhouse. First, the ever-striking black. While not a Wave, this standard is a stunner. And since I love a moody combo, I have it next to rose fusion. Also great with deep purple, blue, and violet 💚💚💚

Last pic is a fun one I wanted to try this year called raspberry lemonade. The color is different on each bloom and some darker ones have popped up the last few days!!

You may (or may not 🤷🏻‍♀️) have noticed that things have been quiet on this page.

This season is going to look different from past years. I will NOT be doing any markets this season. I’m taking this year to focus on being present for my kids’ activities and putting more time into gardening.

HOWEVER! I will still have plants for sale. A price and plant list will follow shortly. I’m focusing mainly on petunia bedding plants, and garden staples like tomatoes, peppers, and herbs. As the season goes on, I will have produce as well. Jam will be available as I make it, and I’ll be open to orders.

Future posts will outline shopping availability here at the greenhouse! And of course, I will deliver plants locally, and once to Hudson. Eggs continue to be available for delivery year-round.
