March Update

February was a strange month this year. It was like Mother Nature didn’t want to do winter this year. We were a bit worried that pests and disease were going to be an issue due to the lack of cold weather, but temperatures did drop enough eventually that we’re confident it shouldn’t be an issue!

       

       March has also been quite crazy this year with the warm/cold/snow “storm” – it’s been quite the rollercoaster to say the least. Most of our time has been spent testing and replenishing the soil, so the warm days were quite welcome while working outdoors. We have been expanding, so we’ve done a lot of digging, and I can assure you the soil definitely froze! Some point soon, we will be installing a new fence to keep out the local groundhog, Shadow.

          

       After we prepped our soil, we transplanted our Cole crops (lettuce, cauliflower, spinach, kale, etc.). Turnips, beets, radishes, potatoes, and onions also made their way outside this month. The different squashes are inside getting ready for the hot days later this year, as well as the yummy eggplant and peppers. 

       

       As always, let us know if you have any questions!   

Best,

Gourdgeously Good
