Spring 2023 Update
April, May, and the beginning of June. Lower field planted completely. Varieties include lisianthus, snapdragons, Zinnias, Amarnath, Shiso, baby breath, celosia, feverfew, Greek oregano, marigold.
The new upper field is 2/3 planted with room for succession plantings of gladiolus and sunflowers. Varieties planted include Rudbeckia, yarrow, scabiosa, gomphrena, ammi, false Queen Anne’s lace, dill, China Asters, gladiolus.
This spring we experimented with building two caterpillar tunnels for early plantings of snapdragons and ranunculus. Our timing for the ranunculus was poor, but the snapdragon tunnel is a huge success!
Eight days till our first farmers’ market in S. Windsor 6/17/23 on Saturday. We should have plenty of snapdragons, maybe, some Zinnias and baby breath. Perhaps, Apple of Peru and Shiso as fillers!
