OPENING DAY IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!  
We are in the home stretch to the opening of our 2015 season!  The first weekend in June (Friday the 5th) will be the "official" opening day.  Our strawberry growers, however,  are telling us that berries will be in early this year so as soon as we can get them in, we will be open for limited hours, just for those.  I don't have details on that yet but I will be making an announcement about that as soon as I have more information.  Last year, fruits and berries were early and this year is shaping up to be a bit earlier still.  The unseasonable mild winter and warm spring has affected the seasonality of things in a positive way, barring any unforeseen circumstances.  As with any farming venture, this is all at the whim of Nature, so nothing is ever chiseled in stone but fingers crossed for those early berries! 

There are so many things growing in the field right now, it is just wonderful!  I actually saw blooms on the early tomatoes today!  Broccoli and cauliflower plants look better every day - strong, green and healthy.  Tomatoes, onion, chard, snap peas, carrots, beets, spinach, lettuces, salad mixes, arugula, green beans, squash, red cabbages, kales, cucumbers and tomatillos are all planted now and the last couple of rainy days has been a blessing for us.  It was perfect timing for last week's newly planted seedlings to get a deep drink from the rains.
