This is week 7 of the green season – wrapping things up here real soon and moving on into summer. It always feels like a whole new garden when the summer crops start running along. That said, there still are two deliveries and farm call days to put behind us. The main activity for the… Continue reading Week 7 of the famous green season

My how time flies… First, the intent is to get this out on Wednesday. Due to a number of honeydo and other jobs, well, it didn’t happen. The prior years Main Season had a lot of Full Share boxes – well, for this weekend they have been repurposed to pack every Women’s Tea cup, saucer,… Continue reading Green Week 6 (day late and dollar short)

Spring – nyah, straight to summer! This is a wonderful week to set out plants – lots of time on our knees with the zillion trays and more heading out. The weather is just amazing – and the plants are extremely please. The happiest thing is to see all the fruit blossoms – it was… Continue reading Week 5 of the 2023 Green Season!

Another week of really nice warm Spring weather – everything at the farm and the garden is exploding into growth and blossom – it is really really wonderful after the debacle of 2022, may it live in infamy. Last year was a terrible year for tree fruit. As you can see from the above picture,… Continue reading Green 4… what? because!

There is much joy in the garden this week – an amazing onset of Nice Weather – just right for crops to be set out and all that dirt swimming associated with the process! Although there is a New Bad Pest problem. For the first time in known history the suddenly nice weather caused all… Continue reading Green Three!

The interesting event at the farm this week was a nasty storm cell proceeding to rip the roof of the Peach greenhouse length ways about 75%… It is now flapping in the breeze, which means the peaches won’t be in a greenhouse the rest of this season. That actually is not bad for the peaches,… Continue reading Green Season Week 2 – Brrrrrr… Oh! Hail!

Green Season kicks off this Friday with delivery and Saturday for farm call – members have been sent a version of this post in their email. If you expected to be in the green season and did NOT get an email – well, there is a problem and you should speak up! Green season rather… Continue reading Green Season Week 1

Oops – got distracted and missed the official “send this on Wednesday” deadline! Oh dear, Oh me! Sending out the monthly update seems to have been so satisfying that the “In the box” post was lost in the victory celebration! As it was last week, so shall it be this week.. except no Bok Choi.… Continue reading Winter Week 8 – that’s a wrap.

Here’s a haiku for this week… Greenhouse bounty, Crisp leaves and spicy radish, Winter’s gift in green. Obviously the farm has a new toy/tool for these weekly updates. There is a fascination with poetry going on – probably too much time in the dirt. That said, the haiku is right. Week 6 (two weeks more… Continue reading Week 6 of the winter season

First – if you didn’t see the posting on the “Boyce’s Shilofarm CSA” facebook page – there is a ton of happy going on here because La Nina has up and gone. The main beds, the upper beds, the overnight temperatures – all is great for the garden. For most years there has been enough… Continue reading Winter Week 5
