Sure seems like spring, making me hustle
Greetings CSA shareholders and friends,
This week's market is tomorrow in Springville, 9:00 until 11:00, at the Community Center downtown. They'll have all the normal meat, honey, bakery, jellies, popcorn, eggs. I wouldn't even be surprised if there is some new hoophouse spinach. PLUS, representatives from H&R Block will be there with suggestions and tips for income tax preparation in exchange for a few cans of food for the Linn Community Food Bank in Springville.
The new Mt. Vernon Vegetable Gardening Club will meet this upcoming Wednesday, March 21, at Local Harvest CSA Farm near Solon, 6:30 pm. There will be a tour of a germination house and moveable high tunnel, plus baby lambs and a sprout growing project. Every kind of gardener with all levels of experience are welcome to attend. Zap me back a note to get the directions to the farm.
Thanks to all of you who have signed up for this year's CSA. I'm spending the money you are sending me as fast as I can. Yesterday, we got the fertilizer spread. Next week I interview workers. We've started in the germination house, and I hope to have all the oats and hay seeded on the parts of the farm that won't be garden for a couple of years by the middle of next week. Weird weather, but sure nice. You can get the registration forms for this year's CSA by clicking here.
Plenty of eggs at my house this week. Just zap me a note to make sure I'm home when you want to come. But, you might have to weed or grease or paint or plant something if you hang around here too long!
