Welcome to our June Newsletter from At The Farm

The Weeds Are Growing
No Time To Rest
The Grass Needs Mowing
But We Have The Best

Hello!

Things are looking fabulous in the fields, guess the rain is just right. The gourds and fall decor is being planted. The color corn has a bee in its bonnet, so that needs to be replanted. Some of the seed rotted.

Some dill also wasn’t happy. But its good to have a few failures to appreciate your success. That also was replanted.

If your rhubarb plants are blooming, pull that stalk with the flower head on and throw it away. You should not let your plant bloom. It takes away the energy from the roots. Remember, you are done pulling rhubarb July 4. That also takes away energy and depletes the plant.

Some crops you can replant are lettuce, green onions, green or yellow beans, kohlrabi, beets, carrots, chard, cilantro, basil, and sometimes zucchini.

I look forward to seeing you At The Farm!
