Crops are Growing

The last couple weekends have been very productive. Our new farm manager and staff were able to spend some time working to get beds made and plants in the ground before their official start date of July 1st. We have nearly 200 tomato, pepper, cucumber, radish, melon and others in the ground. We are looking forward to doubling the size of the current field with more summer and fall crops. Our 13 fruit trees are doing well and we are looking forward to a cherry harvest next month.
We have an irrigation system in place watering our crops automatically. This doesn't sounds like much but it eliminates over an hour of work each day that can be focused on other efforts.

We look forward to building a greenhouse this season and materials are needed for this effort. If you would like to contribute to this effort that will extend our season and reduce our costs contact Rod by sending an email to rod(at)queencityfarm(dot)org.

Grace and peace to all.
