Sunday June 27th will be our first Sunday at Liberty Village Market. I am SO excited. We have been low on Lettuce and other greens since mid May during the “Heat Wave” that caused many of our crops to either bolt or succumb to the shade caused by the enormous weeds that were loving the heat. We have finally repleted our supply of greens and have several nice gardens coming along well.
This Saturday’s Brickworks Market saw the first batch of the special salad mix “Cosmic Blend” sold. If you are one of the lucky few who had a chance to taste it then we are hoping to hear your comments about it next week. The Cosmic Blend features many more types and quantity of herbs and flowers as well as microgreens and corn shoots. Yesterday it featured Tiger Lilly flowers!!!

Tamas and George are building the skeleton of the new greenhouse this weekend, it seems to be going well despite the deluge of rain this morning.
Special Thanks to Dave who is working with us for 2 weeks to learn more about Organic Farming. He has been a great help so far.
Thanks also to all who came out to the Brickworks Market in the rain on Saturday, I love that it is such a hub of activity! I hope everyone has a Glowing Full Moon.

Transplanting Weekend

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

This weekend was one of those “work really hard and get lots of things done” weekends. George came over and as usual him and Tamas worked non-stop to Clean up and fix things and move things and build things and fix the tractor and … I on the otherhand worked diligently on the single task of transplanting the seedlings that we planted on March 3rd (at least the ones that survived). This was a tremendously pleasurable task once I got things rolling. It took me a long time to figure out which plants would get priority as far as transplanting. Then I decided that we need more room in the sprouting room this week (since we have 3 markets in a row coming up) so I will transplant as many of those seedlings as possible, leaving the ones by the window to continue in their starter trays. I also re-potted all those tall lanky seedlings into something more comfortable.
Tamas and George also tilled 2 of the greenhouses without plastic covers, ready for planting on Monday. Hooray! Our first semi out door crop! We will be covering the seeds with a heavy row cover so they sprout but dont get too cold. We have to remember that it is still very early in the season eventhough the weather has been so nice. There is still frost in the mornings.
We will have our first batch of salad with flowers this week at least for one of the markets. We have Mustard flowers and Arugula flowers. YAY! The flowers always make me feel so Happy!
The greenhouse doors on 3 of the green houses now open all the way thanks to Tamas and George. It seems that the ground is still frozen behind the greenhouses. Likely because they face North and don’t get any sun back there.
Tamas has acquired a fertilizer spreader and mower attachment for the tractor. All second hand and the spreader needed some welding. Thanks to Romano in Bradford for all his help fixing that piece of equipment up.
Kevin will be bottling the first batch of fermented veggies, kimchi and organic live raw sauerkraut this weekend. We will be working on the labels and pamphlets later this week too. I am so excited about this new product line coming to Kind Organics.
We now are updating our blog on our website as well as on blogger. This will continue for a short time until I figure things out completely. So far I cannot add photos to the website blog.
We will be at Dufferin Grove Market on Thursday from 3-7pm and Wychwood Barns on Saturday from 8am-1pm and then at Sorauren indoor market next Monday from 3-7pm.
Kind Regards,
Sandra
