Garden Preview

Another beautiful day here in the valley. While I took care of a prior obligation to do a bit of carriage service for some carless folks, Robyn took advantage of the gorgeous weather and got some radishes planted and other outdoor chores done. It seems I forgot that the bed I set aside for the radishes was apparently already planted in garlic last fall so now we'll have a few rows of radishes among the garlic. They should get along... I hope. Like the rest, the bed was not marked and the garlic hadn't made it through yet so it looked like an empty bed. Yeah, it was like that towards the end of the season last year. Digging the last of the potato beds and coming back and throwing in some garlic in the loosened soil... and figuring I'd remember where I put what as I trudged off to the next bed. My reassurance is that I can at least count on knowing what is where once it's above ground.

So, besides those mentioned already on this blog, there are many more things we are growing or plan to grow here on our farm this season. Many of our old favorites, several varieties new to us... in all, over 50 different varieties of veggies, fruits and herbs.

The following is a list we compiled of what CSA partners may see in their boxes in 2010. We are always experimenting with other crops and seasons vary so this list may not represent all that we grow. Offerings vary by box and by season. If you don't see something on the list that you are interested in, just drop us a line and make a request at jake@indigovalleyfarm.com
