Time to make the donuts? A matter of time? Wasting time? Daylight savings time? Which cycle am I speaking of? Why, time to get down to business with the new growing season, of course.I've mapped my garden, planning out rotation. Saved seeds are sorted. I've researched my new varieties. Orders are in the mail. We use locals when possible. I order from Solstice Seeds, High Mowing, Johnny's, and FEDCO for the most part. There are a few others I use, though somewhat less frequently.
I've received some of the seeds and made sense of the seeds I have saved. I compile them by planting time and location. Then I start the early indoor process of germination which is generally some sort of allium. This year it is an assortment of red and yellow storage onions, bunching onions and leeks. I also have a few egyptian walking onions potted up for sale or transplant as the season progresses.
There's an abundance of paperwork and literature to compile still. I am finishing my latest draft of our brochure to send out to potential CSA members. Next up: Complete applications for the three farmers' markets we intend to vend at this year: Hanover, Hartland and Windsor.
There is much to do. I will endeavor to keep you posted!
