The O(G)B Report

Dylan here, reporting from inside the farm kitchen on tuesday night, march 13th. Dinner report: travelling to india tonight for an exotic meal consisting of age old traditions as well as homeade BABA. steph is struggling with the fresh cheese and apparently emily has never rolled out a tortilla before. Sag Paneer is the main dish, with lots of yummy spinach we pulled from the greenhouse. Hand rolled Naan from the dough experts, pasta for the kids, and another feast commences.
And all the while we keep rolling on our farm preperations for the upcoming season. since the onions went in the ground, we have TeePeed (short for transplanting) beets, swiss chard, kale, kohlrabi, collards, peas, leeks, head lettuce, and a few varietys of early flowers. drip tape laid, sand bags tossed, row cover down, call it done. that is, before the weeding begins, before the drip lines leak, before the gophers and rabbits eat all the plants, and before the highly anticipated day of harvest arrives.
We direct seeded some cold hardy crops as well, some of which already decided to pop out of the soil. Turnips, bok choy, tatsoi, dill, salad mix, and arugala have germinated, and if all goes well for the next six weeks, our csa will be recieving the fruits of our labor.

NEWS FLASH: THIS JUST IN... Whipstone Farm is in possesion of some beautiful bunched flowers, hailing from planet Ranunculus.
