Cauble Farms Part II

So this weekend the whole Cauble Farms gang got out and put down soil, spread mulch, prepped row coverings, and planted a bunch of fruit/veggies (3 types of lettuce, 2 types of onions, leeks, arugula, beans, peas, kale, shard, broccoli, and cauliflower), a bunch of types of herbs, & lots of flowers! We were out most of the day Saturday and a couple hours of Sunday (in the crazy wind). It was pretty amazing to see the transformation of the garden in 36 hours.

Overnight we got a ton of rain, but I hear that aside from making the farm muddy, everything looks good, the plants didn't get washed away and the netting protecting the rows stayed in place!

A few more weeks and we'll get some later season veggies (carrots, squash, melons, etc.), but for now it's all about upkeep and looking out for bunnies trying to munch on our harvest!


Here are a few highlights from this weekend:
