News from the Field
All in all, the spring weather has been favorable to us--although, if pressed, I could find something to complain about. The garlic crop looks fabulous (maybe we won't sell out until mid-September this year) and we've begun selling green garlic--bunched immature plants that can be used like scallions but have a beguiling garlic flavor similar to the popular garlic scapes that will appear in mid-June. Plant sales have been brisk, and we're rapidly selling out of compost--seems like people are embracing home gardening in a big way this year. Lettuce production is in full swing, accompanied by increasing quantities of other greens and herbs--and the strawberries have begun to ripen, which is our signal to open up the stand. Our opening day will be this Friday--the 5th of June--at 11 AM. I hesitate to call it a grand opening, because our selection is only a fraction of what it will be, but you can expect lettuce, spinach, arugula, parsley, kale, collards, radishes, endive, escarole, green garlic and strawberries, with chard, kohlrabi, cilantro, zucchini and squash coming soon. As always, our hours will be 11-6, Tuesday through Sunday, and, yes, the Monument St. detour is still in effect--through at least November is what we have heard. We're looking forward to seeing you all again this year,
