Notes from Green Thumb Farm, 5 June 2007

Category: 

Another season is upon us and our first deliveries are happening. Because of our cold spring, our strawberries are arriving later than expected, but with the heat of last week they are finally ripening. Our first weeks we will be bringing in lettuces, salad and culinary herbs, radishes, and some asparagus. Swiss chards and our different types of peas should arrive by mid-month, with beets and carrots soon thereafter.

Most herbs can be preserved by either drying - in a dark, airy area - or by freezing. Our culinary herbs - oregano, sage, thyme, etc, will probably only be brought in at this time of year and again in the fall.

Our summer strawberry picking farm tour is happening Saturday, June 23 at 10:30am and 1pm. It's a walking tour open to all members and their families. We will see parts of the farm and each pick a quart of strawberries. No charge for this - hope to see you all there.

Organically yours,

Farmer Bill
