Time to plant onions while the sun shines! Asinete and I got a head start on the 2,300 onion plants we have yesterday before the next storm came in. We did two rows with 800 plants (yellow Spanish sweet and "big daddy" sweet onions). Left to plant are Walla Wallas, Red Zeppelin, and Mars). All the beds that are shown in the photo above will be planted with onions (6 rows). The rain came in perfect time to water our new onion transplants in. We will hope for a clear/rain free weekend coming up so those of you who would like to join us planting can!
Our first crop of snow peas are finally coming up along with the spinach we planted alongside them.
The rainy day today was a perfect time to catch up on greenhouse work, potting up our tomatoes into 3 inch pots. From these pots they will be planted out in the field.
We will be giving a talk this Tuesday, March 17 from 6-8pm at the Umpqua Community Development Co (UCDC) about the "ABC's of CSA's" We will be presenting along with fellow CSA farmers Oh My Gato Farm from Winston and Norm Lehne Garden from Roseburg. Hopefully see some of you there!
