green is all there is to be

I know its been a little bit longer than I like to leave between blogs. I've been dyin to blog but a girl gotta eat! And feed ya'll who apparently are STARVING for a fresh veg.

I know! Brown & Beige, while friends of mine, were on my last nerve.
But now my fridge is singin it's easy to be Green. true story. I heard it.

Didja notice that on the second day of spring we had a thunder storm? The plants noticed, they are so happy about it they are spurtin right up inch a minute! we can barely keep up! ( Have I mentioned how happy we are that the temps are rising? )

We've taken to companion planting a lot of our spring veggies. There were a few 'late performers' (who can blame them) in the winter veggie category that had some nice prepared soil available for sublet. So we jumped right in and put some transplanties in the space. The baby lettuce get all that companionship from the kale and probably the wheres & whatfors of the garden doings. ( I happen to believe they chat while we aren't listening) That is, until we harvested the Kale... here they are learnin the newbies:








The debris in the path is the pruned part of the curly kale. You have already consumed the kale, so this is a shot from before the harvest.
Lil baby lettuce running down the middle is reaping the benefits of the survivors.

















One of the other things we found a minute to do this pre-spring was getting the blackberry bushes to get back in their bed.
We know how you love them, so we bought more. Now.... its gonna take a little while to get them to the age of fruiting, to last past the 9am market hour, but we're werkin on it!




Lil side car bar:
I attended an edible plants of the seashore talk. It's put on by Delaware seashore state park, and it's neat. So if you get a chance u should attend it. they have handouts & everything.

Also attended: The HLFM spring workshop at the lovely Lavender Fields, where we shared & swapped ideas & impressions from the PASA conference to the challenging climate. It was inspiring to have a whole room full of farmers on the Delmarva ( love that expression) we're a the! tee hee. Don't hold it agin me I will likely start saying that.
