Spring Crops are in, so are weeds…

Spring crops are in the ground and growing. Last week we planted zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant and sweet peppers. The potatoes have been in the ground over a month now and are growing very nicely. We have also begun hilling the potatoes, which consist of pushing soil over the emerging plants while just leaving the tops above the soil. The stem part that we cover will be able to root and give us a higher yield of tators. With this warm spring weather, not only are the vegetable crops growing well but so are all the weeds. We could use some help hand weeding, please join us at the farm Wednesday through Sunday from 8:30am on. This is very rewarding work sharing with nature and all the good people that make up the Sweetwater community. Peace
