Farm Update: Growing Season in Full Swing!

It's early June. Warm season crops can be planted now because we are likely past the last frost here in Colorado. (In the case of one last frost, just cover your most sensitive plants lightly.) These include beans, squash, corn, melons, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, most flowers, okra, collards, and many more.

For example, we just transplanted our Early California Wonder Bell Peppers from their seed trays to the field. Here you can see our flood irrigation at work making sure they have a nice deep first drink!

This week we are also direct sowing corn, like our Rainbow Corn Landrace. If you are in a place with late frosts, you can safely plant these up til July 1 and they should mature in good time.

It's a lot of hard work, but it's an honor to tend these seeds. Hope you are staying cool and hydrated, just like the roots of these plants!
