Spring into Summer

6/1/2015

0 Comments

 
Our blog update has been long overdue so here is our first update in long time.
Our garden is well underway and is going pretty well. We're beginning to prepare for a summer garden and are harvesting our spring crops such as peas, lettuce, spinach, kale, and our garlic is just about ready to be harvested. In fact we put together a salad with the lettuce and peas. On top we used fried cheese curds as croutons. Let us know if you would like the recipe. 

We wanted to touch on what we're doing to transition from spring to summer for the garden. So here we go.
What we will be planting now consists of tomatoes, corn, green beans, pumpkins, peppers, and squash. If you have been growing veggies and are planning on planting summer crops as well listen up. Your spring plants have used up a lot of the same nutrients your summer plants will be using so it's necessary to replenish the soil with compost or other natural fertilizers. You may choose your own methods of fertilizers but compost is a good way to recycle things you would have just thrown out anyway such as coffee grounds, which helps the acid levels in the soil. You could also checkout local farms for manure. Most garden supplies stores carry natural and/or organic fertilizers as well if you wanted to go with that option. Try to put just what you need of the fertilizers in order to reduce nitrogen build up and run off.
If you are interested in learning about putting together your own compost pile let us know and we will make a post in the future regarding how to make one and what is good to put into it.

Keep an eye out for our upcoming posts.

Phenominal Pumpkin  Positives

Sorry for the delay on posts everyone!
Since this month is Halloween and a very fall month we thought we'd share some fun facts we found about pumpkins! 
Pumpkins are pretty good for you and they are pretty versatile as well.
Pumpkins originated from Central America.
Pumpkins are considered fruits! what???
They are a member of the cucurbita genus in the gourd family.
The top Pumpkin growing states in the US are: Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and California. 
Pumpkins contain vitamin A and potassium. 
Pumpkins are 90% water.
Pumpkins can range in size from one pound to 1000 pounds.
The largest pumpkin ever recorded weighed 1140 pounds.
Pumpkin seeds can be roasted and eaten, the flowers are actually edible(there are a lot of recipes online)
Pumpkins can also be made into soups, breads, cookies, and of course pies!
Native Americans used the seeds for food as well as medicines.
Native Americans also would cut pumpkins into strips and roast them over fires.
Sounds like that would be pretty good with some cinnamon and sugar on top of them.

At Bare Garden Farms we haven't had a pumpkin harvest but we do have eggs which could be used in the cookies and breads!
Send us a message if you have anything you are interested in, and like us on Facebook to get updates from us.
