Last week for RVP
Hello,
This will be the last week for RVP until the new plantings start to produce. It will be the end of April until things are big enough to pick. This break will give us a chance to get many of our crops in an allow us to take our oldest to a few cattle shows in the area.
The kales and collards started to bolt. So we went ahead and tore them all out. We got tomatoes transplanted on 3/18. If all goes well, we will be picking by the end of May.
We have also seeded radishes, turnips, beets, kale, tatsoi, arugula, swiss chard, spinach, carrots, dill, cilantro, tatsoi, tokyo bekana, potatoes and over 9,000 onions. We also have lettuce to transplant this weekend along with broccoli and cauliflower. We will be transplanting zucchini and little cucumbers in 10-12 days. We have been very busy. We are starting hundreds of seedlings every week and transplanting many too. Spring is here!
We have a winter market in Manhattan on Saturday. So I hope to see you then.
Thanks!
Jay
