The greatest moment for any farmer is harvesting the fruits of what all their hard work yields.

When I saw the pictures from the Wilson Street Urban Farm’s Great Garlic Harvest, I couldn’t help but be excited for the farm and Mark and Janice Stevens.

The farm has really taken off this year with an expanded variety of crops.  By reading their website, you can feel their excitement and get the sense that things are really coming together.

How can you not love that a few short years ago Wilson Street between Broadway and Sycamore was devoid of any life except for a few houses…now the street is bustling with LIFE.

Farm Report: Lots Happening; Nothing Being Said About It!

Ought to be punishable by …. at least something, huh!?

On April 19th, we were blessed with a group of students from UB’s  Nutrition and Environment Class which came and helped us clean out some of last year’s growth in the hoophouse.  They also helped me plant some basil and tomato seeds in little ¾” blocks.

Farm Report: The First Volunteer Day of the Season!

I know it seems like spring is dragging its heels, but it is definitely time to be working in the garden.  I am grateful for the rain filling up all our rain barrels and our new big tank (only have one of them hooked up currently); however, the cold and sogginess have made it very difficult to get my seeds planted.  Hopefully, we will get some cooperative weather soon and we can get the backlog of outdoor work done!

I do have lots of plants started in the house, waiting for warmer weather.  There will be some new experiments this year such as lemon grass, stevia, kohlrabi, shallots and brussel sprouts.  I’m planning on expanding the herb garden we began last year, or maybe I should say planting it, since it was simply prepared and laid out last year and not really planted at all.  Keturah is trying her hand at flowers.
