June 7. The first week of June was hectic and I didn’t take many pictures! We were too busy harvesting as the temps tipped toward 90* early in the week, which really kicked the flowers into overdrive. Some of the veggies loved it (cucumbers, baby eggplant, beans) and some of them hated it (pea season is nearly over). The garlic is throwing scapes so bulb harvest is imminent, and we finished weeding the onions! Lots of irrigation moving. And tomatoes are all trellised now. I included a picture of the weedy tomato tunnel here to keep things real. We also need to weedwack every single corner and edge on the entire farm 🙈 but I spared you those photos. Just two weeks til the longest day of the year!

May is blurring together a bit but it’s been such a productive month! 💪🏼 The farm really sprang to life with tons of flowers blooming, abundant veggies, and more snakes than I’ve ever seen here! In spite a few moments of spring panic, we’ve mostly worked steadily away at a truly massive planting to do list. May demands a lot: quickly getting the field ready, getting all of the summer crops out in a very tight window along with all of long term storage crops, the majority of the flowers, and oh ya… keep up on weeding it all while you step up harvests significantly. We scaled back again this year, and while I had mixed feelings about it I truly don’t understand how we used to do so much more than we are right now. The farm will always take everything you are willing to give (and more), so you have to set yourself some solid guard rails. Dropping to three lines a bed this year from four was my way to commit to cutting production by at least 25%, and I just know without that very concrete change we’d be slipping into madness again. I’m getting older/wiser/more tired/whatever and am very grateful that my past self did my spring self a solid by making a more reasonable plan. 😅 Sending big hugs and props to all my farmer comrades out there. We almost made it to the end of May! Hope you celebrate it.

May 10. What a buuuusy start to the month! We are planting like mad, irrigating, hustling to keep up with the flowers blooming, and harvesting tons of gorgeous veggies. We kicked off Farm Club V 2.0’s spring season! We planted tomatoes! We’re behind on weeding! The whole farm needs a good mowing and weedwacking! I ate a cucumber and a strawberry! Things are happening, and it feels like summer is maybe here already. Wheeeeeee and ahhhhhhhhh in similar measures over here. 😂🙃🫨

April 26. This month is rushing to a close! A lot of mid week precipitation has pushed bed prep to weekends this month, but we were able to get the majority of our onions in (in April for the first time in a long time!). Thanks Paul and Christina for cheerfully knocking that out on our “alliums all day” Wednesday! We are also soooo close to finished weeding garlic. Whew. Additionally this week we got our tunnel beans strung so they’re ready to climb as soon as the temps bump back up again, and also seeded and harvested tons of goodies. It’s about to be May, so summer is nearly here. Ready or not here we goooooo! Also, we were blessed by a sphinx moth so I’m feeling pretty good about things as we head into a new month. 🧚‍♀️

April 20. A busy week full of cold nights (three frosts!) and sunny days. We stuck to the plan and tucked in freshly planted zucchini, tomatoes, beans, and basil under two layers of row cover despite the frost warnings. This is exactly why we have so many tunnels here—spring planting flexibility (not to mention winter production) is key! We did like 257 other tasks too, including potting up a bunch more summer crops, seeding, clearing tunnel beds, harvesting… honestly it was a bit of a blur, but a productive blur as the new crew is getting settled into the rhythm of things! Go team!

April 13. New week, new crew! Welcome to Christina and Greg, and a big welcome back to Paul! It feels good to have our new small but mighty team here and learning the ropes. 💪🏼 It was a wildly warm week here, and I had to keep being like “it’s okay!! It feels like June but it is NOT June!” (internally) as we tried to prioritize a huge list of tasks that all needed to be done *right now*. Instant spring vibes and we matched it, with a huge Monday harvest including the first salad mix of the season, getting almost 10 beds of spring crops out in the field, and cultivating another 7. Whew! Thankfully the rain did return just as we were starting to panic about getting irrigation up and running 😅. And arrived in style, with wind, lighting and hail accompaniments. A big spring storm to cap off a big spring week.

Spring vibes all around this week! Flowers bursting into bloom, planting and seeding on repeat, summer crops getting too big for their britches in the prop house, warm sun and cold wind keeping us guessing about our clothing choices 😅 and harvests still running about three weeks ahead of schedule. Verrrrry curious what April has in store for us, here’s hoping it’s all good things. 🤞🏻

The end of March. We got an early weather window and snuck in the first field planting with the waterwheel, a first for us! It was a big week for harvesting too, a lot of things are weeks ahead of schedule so the abundance is impressive for this time of year—I am curious what that will mean for us in a few weeks! 🌞 There’s also a changing of the guard happening on the farm this week, with both Sabrina and Colin departing before April arrives. It is so bittersweet to have these two dear people moving on, and I am going to miss them terribly. Glad we got one last potluck in and I forced them to take a picture. 🥲 Thank you & . For the laughs and existential conversations and good eats and silly break time games and hard hard work. The farm and me are different in the best ways after your three year plus presence here. 💚

Okay, part 3, our final part of Dahlias 101 is here! In which I share my opinion on the “to dig or not to dig” situation with dahlias. Of course I’m only speaking from my experience growing here in a pretty mild climate, but I truly don’t think digging every year is a requirement for having dahlias in your home garden! 🌱 This is a place where farming is a lot different, because we need larger quantities of plant stock and often need to move our dahlias to a different part of the field every year—that’s when annual digging makes sense. To have a few dahlias in your raised beds or landscape, I don’t think you have to dig if your winters are warm enough! I include tips for folks in colder climates here too. Hope it’s helpful! Remember you can shop our dahlia tubers right now through , we’re shipping starting next week!

Part 2 of Dahlias 101! We are offering our dahlia tuber collection through a collaboration with this year and begin shipping next week, and will continue shipping into May! If you’ve wanted to try growing dahlias, this is your sign to give them a shot this year! Our tubers are grown using organic practices on our small farm in western Oregon and our collection has over 40 varieties with a focus on productive cutting varieties!
