CSA Pictures.

Our November tomatoes.

Our root cellar has proved to be invaluable. Humidity and temperature are just right for those hot days of summer. 

Early July CSA share.  White russian kale, carrots, beets, dill, swiss chard, green onions, radish, arugula and lettuce mix.

Even though it was a very dry season the cucumbers and squash grew in abundance.


Still Catching up!!

SNOW!!!!
 
We were very fortunate last year in that we had very little snow.  So for this year we are sure that we have had more snow in the past two weeks than we had all last winter.  Our unheated gutter connected greenhouse had minimal stress from snow load last year but didn't think we would be that lucky for another year.  We didn't want to have to heat this greenhouse so we installed a chain cranked roll-up roof.  It is working great.  We are hoping to be able to unroll the roof in early March and start spring prep. 
 

 


One bay at a time!!

Taking up wire so the plastic can be re-attached to the tubing that will roll up the whole side of the bay roof.

Catching up!!

Well, another season has come and gone and now we are in fully planning mode for 2013.  Every year I say to myself that I will keep the blog up-to-date but then June comes and that is forgotten.  It was a busy year for Andrew and I.  We took on more CSA,  had big blueberry harvest and had a full season at the Kingston Farmers' Market.


The newest member of the family.   He is an Anatolian Shepherd and we love him to bits.  Our existing farm dog may not agree with us on that though.

This is the first time for the puppy being on ice.  He was so confused and frustrated.

 The girls thought it would be fun to jump the leaves that Mommy raked for the garlic.
