— Spring —

Springtime on the farm is all about preparation. The greenhouse is full of seedlings just waiting for the winter rains to stop so they can be cultivated and put into the ground. This is when we prepare and amend our beds with the nutrients the crops will need for the year. We also resume planting our crops that have a quick turnaround in the garden, such as radishes, potatoes, and mustards. From a culinary perspective, Spring is all about greens: lettuces, green garlic, green english peas and tender green shoots of spring onions. Spring is about remembering what fresh, crisp vegetables taste like.
