We haven’t posted in a while. We’ve been really busy trying to deal with this crazy weather. We also picked up another market on Wednesdays, here in our home town of Gilmanton. Just planted in the garlic some spinach and our last seeding of green beans. Beans have been a struggle this year for us… Continue reading Garlic Time

Strawberries
We went picking strawberries this morning. I think we went a little overboard. We made 59 jars of jam, including rhubarb and sugarless and put up 20 quarts in the freezer for future jam making. Plus we did some garden work and harvested for the CSA pick up this afternoon. Very, very productive day.
Green Tomatoes Anyone?
We’ve got 19 pounds of green tomatoes left over. Just got a batch of piccalili going and can’t fit anything more in the pot. Anybody want some green tomatoes? They are kind of small though. $12.00 for the entire lot of them. You just need to come get them by Sunday or Monday before they… Continue reading Green Tomatoes Anyone?

Nice thick stalks and a lot of big bulbs and cloves. Plenty of seed garlic for next year. Here’s a small portion of what… Continue reading Garlic
B-E-A-N-S
Can you spell B-E-A-N-S? Yep, bumper crop just picked. There’s 20 pounds in this picture. We have a preorder for 7 pounds but the rest will be for sale, for the first time this season, at tomorrow’s farmer’s market, Main Street, Laconia from 3 to 7 p.m. Hope to see some of you there!
Update
No pictures this time. It’s been a while since I posted. Lots of struggles with growing this year. We put lime down, then gypsum, then bloodmeal, manure tea and then compost to try and get things growing. The last two seemed to do the trick. We got beans, but had very few leaves on the… Continue reading Update
