March has ended with a flourish at Fair Share Farm. We put our 2011 intern Lucas to work a week early, and he helped us accomplish a significant amount of work this week. The plants have started moving out of the greenhouse and into the field. We’ve planted most of the onions, the first batch of lettuce and the kale.
With the weather the way it is looking we hope to plant out the broccoli, cabbage, potatoes, cilantro, dill, and more lettuce next week. We’ve also seeded the first carrots and beets.
Farm beautification has proceeded with piles of brish being cut and fences cleared. We have also cleaned up and “rearranged” many outside storage areas to make them more attractive and useful. Like when you clean up your house for company, it is nice to be pushed to do the work you have always planned on doing.
