April 5th -More prepping of the hoop house and outside garden.
Today we watered down the hoop house before rototilling or building beds. because it is dry and dusty in the middle.
checked the seedling progress and assess the heating setup. (they are doing nicely, see the photo)
did a weed burning test outside in the garden.
April 30th -More prep on the hoop house and weeding.
Some of the early girl tomato plants have been put into the ground. (check out the photos)
​
We spent some time weeding out around the outside of the garden to keep it free from weeds.
Next week we hope to get the outside tilled up so we can prep it for the rest of the garden goodies.

May 15th -We are moving right along -
We are well into the growing season now. We have so many plants planted inside the hoop house and outside now. Yesterday we even took home so fresh asparagus. It was delicious.
The Roscommon County 4-H Veggie Investigators are enjoying their time working on their garden rows, while we in the CSA continue to plant, weed and watch our hard work come to life.
July 14th -So many goodies to share.
Look at these veggies! It's mid-July and we are picking zuccinni, yellow squash, cucumbers, garlic and a few others. The onions will be ready soon and the corn is taller than some of the kids that help at the CSA. Keep your eye out as we get ready to start our campaign for the new year. We are getting an early start so we can give everyone time to get signed up.
