OK, back with the blogging!

WOW, it really has been a busy year! Sorry to our followers of this blog for being MIA.
I'm going to try to keep up better with it this year.
Let us know what you'd like to see on the table at the markets this year. We want to grow what you want to eat!
Also, any questions, comments, suggestions, things like that, PLEASE post them, we want to hear from you.
I'll be updating on our farm's progress as often as possible, as there are a lot of changes and exciting things happening.
Thank you for your support, Let's work together to have a great year!

The season has started!

Finally, with all of the rain we have had we have now managed to get stuff in the field. We planted Cauliflower, collards, onions, garlic, and potatoes this past weekend.

The greenhouse and high tunnel continue to be overflowing and all plants are itching to get into the field.
The tomato and cherry tomato plants have blooms on them! yeah!!

The romaine, red leaf and frill head lettuces are ready for harvest.

Asparagus is coming in by the pound! Really some of the best I have ever tasted

Market starts Saturday May 2. come out to the Lakeside farmers market Saturday morning from 8-12 to kick off the season with us! We'd love to see you. We will have all veggie plants along with lettuce, asparagus, onion tops, Alfalfa sprouts, herbs and much much more.
Get your orders in early by contacting us at mkruize@kruizefarms.com and I'll have them waiting for you at our stand. Hope to see you all at the market!

Volunteer plants?

This year we used the compost soil that we collected all year last year. We would throw in old veggies, organic matter, and soil, then churn up the mix every so often.
After planting a bunch of our tomato plants in the compost soil, we have ended up with hundreds of "unknown babies".
we are assuming most are tomato plants of some sort, with a few gourds and squash thrown in there too.
We have transplanted a good many of them into their own 4 packs.
Has anyone else ended up with this?
would any one be interested in these plants for your gardens? the mystery would be fun in my opinion.
Has anyone has success with these volunteer plants producing well?
thoughts?
