A Little Sun + A Little Soil...

Once the temperature gets above freezing, we start focusing on seeds! The crop plan has been in the works for a while now, but nothing makes the upcoming growing season come alive like the sorting of seeds and the planning of when to start them.

While we don't want to start anything too early, we know that some things just grow better in cooler weather. Parsley was started today, and in the next week or so, we'll be starting some kale, basil, and a few types of lettuce. I (Jenny) also started some microgreens for my own personal use. I frequently grow sprouts in a jar to use in my daily salads, but microgreens are something I haven't dabbled in yet. If you are interested in learning how to grow your own sprouts or microgreens at home, just send us an e-mail at countryblossomsorganics@gmail.com and I can give you a few suggestions.

The awesome Halloween bucket is for mixing potting soil. Nothing strange going on here.

We recently got back from the MOSES organic farming conference where we learned so many awesome things. We are making plans for repurposing some things around the farm to transform them into a greenhouse, some cold frames, and a vegetable washing station. In the next month, we will be meeting with other area farmers and crafters to discuss the upcoming Lomira Farmer's Market. The market will take place on Saturday mornings from June 13th-October 10th, 8:00 am-12:00 pm. It will be held in the parking lot of Transform Yourself Fitness LLC on Main St. in the Lomira, just north of Mc Donald's. You are welcome to e-mail us if you have any questions about the upcoming market.
