(Janice Stevens – Wilson Street Urban Farm) What an interesting spring we have had. Two weeks of 70 -80 degree weather, then a major freeze. Then warm again, then snow. I’m placing faith in the idea that this latest warming trend is going to last – at least that we won’t get any more snow or temperatures in the teens!
This week has seen a flurry of activity on the farm. Tomatoes and peppers were started in the house weeks ago and they were desperately wanting to be transplanted into 4″ blocks outside, so Mark and Jerusha made 380 4 inch blocks and lined them up on boards in the hoop house ready for transplants. Sad, leggy tomatoes have been placed in their blocks and should be happy again soon. Alex planted some of her peppers in the hoop house ground as well as putting some in blocks. Cabbage and Swiss chard were planted in their outside boxes. Herbs were transplanted into pots and barrels around the yard.

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.
