Robert got 100 feet of fence in place for the green beans and the yellow broad beans to climb. And this photo is outdated already because tonight he moved the deer fence over to cover the first two gardens with a grassy stretch running between the two of them!
I like to recommend these Jumbo Hefty bags for storing veggies in. They are large enough to handle anything we will be sending your way this season. The first layer of soil will be rinsed off of the veggies when they arrive. You will need to perform at least two more rinses to get the soil completely off. My preferred manner is to wash the entire box of greens and store them in the Jumbo Hefty bags. This way when I am ready to make salads, all I need to do is pull out the bag and start chopping. They will stay fresh for two weeks in this manner because they are harvest the morning you receive them!
Here is a current view of the first garden taken by looking through the seven-foot deer fencing. Humans have been known to walk right through it as it is almost invisible to us–but not to the deer, fortunately!
We are in a new phase of our CSA preparation! All plants have been removed from the greenhouse. The last of the transplants are hardening off in the driveway. Time passes so quickly! So much to do!!
Keep your eye on your Email Inbox and when you see your personal CSA Startup email for your day and your pickup location, please send me a reply. This way we know that you know we are harvesting your first box of veggies of the 2024 Harvest Season! Here’s praying it is a good one!
