Yes! We have no potatoes...yet... [View all]

The weather has seemingly moderated itself here in northern Michigan. Ground temps are holding at 60 degrees everything is getting ready for planting.

Yesterday started by cutting down a 60 foot maple tree way too close to the house. The potatoes that we started back in April in the greenhouse graduated, moving outside to finish up in a few months.
Then SURPRISE!! Our asparagus made their entry into the daylight…tonight’s salad addition. My wife got an entire bed of onions in the ground along with peas and radish. Getting the straw bale beds ready today for their visitors that will arrive a little later. Bales have been conditioned and overwintered. Comfrey is almost ready for the first harvest. It’ll be used for fertilizing during the season.
Busy days coming.



Potatoes, raspberries, strawberries in back beds, straw bales.



Asparagus.



Onion bed. Straw bales behind are the future home of green beans.



Comfrey.



It’s not just all about the veggies…we do flowers too.
