The vegetables are finally ready for market day tomorrow in Ligonier. Although the market began last weekend, the veggies have taken longer than expected to be of harvestable size. Join me tomorrow at the Ligonier Country Market. I will be selling: green onions, green garlic, radishes, baby lettuce, baby spinach, baby kale, arugula, peppermint, chives, and lovage. Hope to see you there!
May Is Dandelion Time
May 2, 2014
What do ya know about that?! It’s May already. What in the world happened to April (let alone March)? It’s been a rainy and cool past few days here on the old homestead. Good weather for the spinach, beets, carrots, and ducks. The sheep aren’t too thrilled with the rain. Everything is a muddy mess. I’ve been working on extending the pasture fence the past few days since it’s way too wet to work the soil. The temperatures have been running about 60F during the day and about 45-50F at night. The grass is growing well…and so are the dandelions. If you’re moaning at the thought of dandelions, take heart. It’s just about time to start making dandelion wine. It looks like the dandelion flush will begin this weekend. I hope to make a video of the process so you can see how I make that wine. Stay tuned to this blog!
