Chard casting on the gram We cross post to Facebook and get more engagement there than on insta; reflective of our customer base (age). I simply continue to refuse to play social media games (no I don’t want to add audio to my post on instagram; no I don’t want to become a reels producer, no I don’t want to boost the post). There’s a lot I don’t love about instagram; yet posting there does solve distribution… Blessed that our socials aren’t “necessary” to sell veggies; just a nice way to keep our customers up to speed on harvests etc). https://www.instagram.com/p/DYXZ35GARP-/?igsh=YjhmNTY0dnloOHdi

Was originally hoping to trek up to the Sinclair to catch Ken Pomeroy & Flyte tonight with my wife… Too much work to make it a reality. Fitting this guy was in the drive when I headed home. https://open.spotify.com/track/1ERgZKcOl3XCimALNr5VVw?si=aYjpeNGfRYihNdZWM2pvEw

I got to see quite the spread of California grown avocado varieties this week! Most of these aren’t grown for commercial sale but are used to help support Hass pollination

broccoli & cabbage in the ground this evening… just about finished with the initial big planting push for 2026. Started on 4.14 and we now have about ~1/3 of our acreage planted for the season. After tomorrow, pacing will slow down a bit as we start to cultivate (fancy word for weeding) on a regular basis and the crops in the ground require more attention.

When you grab your keys late at night and the pup thinks it’s time for a ride; yet it’s only really time for a late night session at the farm and she has to stay home. Had to make an emergency trip last night when temps crashed much colder than forecast and I hadn’t protected the cukes and tomatoes. Got down to 35 in the houses. Crops were in good shape today.

Romaine Trials seeded on Tuesday 4.28, germinating nicely. We did 3x3 romaine types alongside a couple other varieties that are always in the mix (Panisse & Star Fighter). Mostly evaluating for performance in early summer heat, bolt resistance etc… Green Forest which we run in the spring, Salvius, and Sparx which are both heat tolerant summer varieties. These will get transplanted out third week of May and harvested late June / early July. Final shot is a flat of spinach seeded as part of a Sunday seeding session.

Nice day today; looks like we get another couple of gems on Monday & Tuesday. Grey and chances of showers for the weekend before that; Sunday night looks chilly; might transplant basil next week once we get through that… https://x.com/bostonwxconsult/status/2050245214762147840?s=46

Proof of headlamp Sometimes a nighttime session seems warranted. Trying to front run a busy start to May by putting in a long day. Many hours later I’m now enjoying the Vegas - Utah game on the radio before sleep.
