  Howdy –  Winter Season wraps up this week – which is good, since winter wraps up too, we hope! The early part of Green season will start adding more options – bok choi, two more lettuce types, radishes and salad turnips – more green onions, chives and sage. The eight weeks is fun –… Continue reading March 2026 CSA update

Hi All –  This is a very funny/odd time of the garden year. Every day, a newly discovered veggie from one or more of the seed vendors shows up in my email with a special offer – which I nominally ignore. The seed warehouse here has most of the common veggies, and it is not… Continue reading 2026 February Update

Time for a monthly update slightly ahead of April, but not much. Last week wrapped up the “winter” season, and on we move into the “green season. Green is right – lots of Spring weather forecast for this first week of April, which is putting the (growth) spurs to the seedlings.  The “Sora” radishes are… Continue reading April Update – Green Season Commences!

So: Here’s the ‘schedule’ for 2025:   In 2025, memorial day is… Continue reading January 2025 Update

Hope you all are enjoying the holiday time – have yourself an amazing Christmas! Meanwhile, this is more of an opportunity for you to give some helpful guidance to the planning for the CSA for 2025. It may not of been clear or obvious, but the CSA and indeed our time at Shilofarm were teetering… Continue reading Pre-2025 Monthly update… sorta.

It’s getting pretty real here right now – Winter season starts the 24th of February – there are four people (the limit this year) signed up – although one more might sneak in.
