April 20 Newsletter

Hello!

Did you like the rain? I did. I closed those days, no one needed me.

When it dries up, the chicken pellets (organic) will go on the fields here At The Farm. We used it last season and it’s the cat’s meow! Really works. I have that to sell this year. It’s in small amounts to sell.

The Rhubarb is up. I have pots of that for sale. It’s Chipman’s Canada Red – the Very Best Variety.

The greenhouse is filling up with cold crops soon for sale.

Garden Seeds I sell by the bulk here At the Farm.

1/4 tsp – 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp Peas-Corn 1/2 cup etc.

I tell you how to plant them when you are at a seed rack they do not teach you what to do. I have seed potatoes you can buy 1 or 10 or whatever you need. I tell you about each variety.

Yukon Gold, Russet, Red Pontiac, Dark Red Norland, Red Viking my favorite, Kennebec Elfre Gold, New Modoc, and New Red Early.

Onions – sets Yellow, You know how to get a large onion you need to plant plants, not sets.

Onion Plants – Yellow Candy Sweet, White, Sterling, Red Blush Sweet, Red River, Cipollini, and Shallot Plants

Packs – Onion Plants, Green Cabbage Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Kohlrabi

Single Plants – Parsley, and more to come for sale

By the middle to the last week in April there will be all Cold Crop Plants.

Tomatoes or Peppers you need to wait until the ground is warm. Dig a hole, put your hand in it. If it feels really warm, you can plant. These plants go backwards when the ground is cold. Then it takes a long time to go forwards. Don’t be in a hurry.

I have fabulous Potting Soil, Manure Compost, Organic Chicken Pellet Fertilizer, Cedar Wood Chips, these are not died pine wood chips.

I’ll write again,

It’s Donna the Lady Farmer
