One sure sign of spring are the 'Yellow Bells' in the south. Our new bed in front looks very spring like today. It won't be long before we start planting the frost sensitive veggies.
Last Saturday we put the remaining potatoes in the ground. Pictured is the chief potato planter hard at work.
Yesterday and today we planted more onions to supplement our struggling onions planted in February. Five inches of snow and multiple freezes took their toll. I took this opportunity to add 28 more feet of raised beds. Over time I'll fill the beds with more soil but for now it's sufficient to grow onions. On Saturday I added 1500 pounds of top soil as well as a 1/2 yard of goodies from the compost pile just to create the new beds.
So do you have a vegetable stand near your farm?
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about finding these farms in Polk County. I would prefer to get my vegetables locally than from some brick and mortar store.
Yes. The farm stand is at our barn on Cherokee Road in North Cedartown 1.75 miles off Hwy 27 just past the new Walmart. We have a sign at the road announcing the vegetables we have that day. We only sell produce produced on our farm and are open three days a week. During the height of the season we are open 6 days a week.
ReplyDeleteIs this the stand over by Anna Kresge Church?
ReplyDeleteIf so I always wanted to stop by there.
That's the one :-)
ReplyDeleteJust follow the gravel drive at the sign to get to the barn.
Well let me know when the farm stand is open and count me in! What kind of vegetables are you planting if you don't mind me asking?

We plan to have tomatoes, squash, peppers, okra, cucumbers, melons, potatoes, onions, many beans, corn (we hope), basil, pickles, and more. We will open around 6/1 depending on the weather. Watch the sign!
ReplyDeleteWOW That looks AWESOME!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, we can't wait to see it in person.
