Update May 1, 2008

  This spring has definitely been different than last year. Then, if you remember, warm temps made everything speed up (except for that freezing spell thrown in). This year, everything is much slower than usual due to cool temps and not much sun in March and April. The strawberries are about 10 percent in bloom, which means they’ll be ready closer to June 1 this year. Right now we’re getting things ready in between the rains and hoping we’ve seen the last of the frosts. The tomatoes, green onions and lettuce are growing well. We’ve also planted some asparagus and rhubarb (which will be ready for you next year).

Hope you’re enjoying your spring — we’ll see you in a few weeks.

Update April 13, 2008

When March finally rolls around each year, some people get baseball spring training fever. Me? I guess you can call it spring soil fever. You gardeners out there can relate, right?I’ve been planting seeds and watching things sprout and grow for a month now, so I couldn’t wait any longer to let you know about new things growing this year at Crossway Farms.

We have planted more raspberries and strawberries to keep up with demand. We are also expanding our selection of vegetables, plus trying new heirloom varieties that I hope will excite your taste buds. Onions, lettuce, and yes, tomatoes are what we have growing right now. Hopefully, as soon as the weather breaks we will get to plant more varieties and get them growing. We are looking forward to seeing you in May.
