Boardtown Organics

     The recent rains have the farm pretty mushy and with the weatherman predicting more rain every couple of days!  It sure looks like we'll be late in getting things planted.........but we'll do everything possible to get it in! 

     The tomatoes in the greenhouse are doing great.......just need to get them in the ground.  The squash and zucchini that are in the greenhouse might just take over if it doesn't dry up, and we have to get the cucumbers out before they start running!

     Currently, we have planted broccoli, cauliflower, green cabbage, red cabbage, and russet potatoes in the ground.  Stay tuned for our progress.

     We finally started our first seeds of the year......just over 1000 seeds so far!  Here's a list of the seeds:

   Tomato - Beefsteak, Matt's Wild Cherry, and  Roma

   Peppers - Calif. Wonder, Purple Beauty, Golden Calif. Wonder, Cayenne, and Hungerian Hot Wax

     Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Eggplant       

     We still have a lot of other seeds to start but I will need to mix up some more organic potting mix.  We'll let you know how everything is progressing........Greg              

     Well, we have been accepted into "Certified Naturally Grown"!!!  I don't know if I'll bother getting "Certified Organic".  I like CNG's tougher standards! 

     The greenhouse is far enough along that tomorrow, I'll be able to start the first seeds of the year......It's about time!!!!!

     We started on a small 12X16 PVC greenhouse this week and should be finished in a day or two, weather willing!  If you are interested in building a small inexpensive greenhouse/high tunnel, check out youtube and the net for the plans.  Mine Cost around $200 without the benches inside.  I'll try to post pics when it is finished.

     We will be start planting seeds within a week so that the seedlings will be ready mid-March.
