Greenhouse Progress, Post 3....





Ahh, the last day of March! I took these greenhouse progress pics this morning! Onions are doing quite well, actually everything is! I am feeding with a natural fish fertilizer now. All the cats are howling and I'm tripping over them while I work. Lettuce is sizing up nice. Most of this large early lettuce planting is designated for greenhouse no. 3 project. Early head lettuce this year! Tomatoes are gorgeous! I've done quite a bit of transplanting. One of the biggest jobs this week will be transplanting all our field varieties. Our basket type along with romas!! This is a favourite job of Ben's mom! 'Babca' and her tomato plants!!

September is Pepper month!

Pepper, like tomatoes are doing well for us this season.  They thrive in this heat and we were fortunate to set up and run drip irrigation with all the pepper patches.  The plants are heavy with peppers and our goal was sweet red, reds and more reds! We have red shepherds, red bells and red pimentos.  All are so sweet when high red and yummy straight up, roasted, grilled, pan fried.... ah I love this time of year. Sweet Corn was almost a bust this year!  F-ing deer and raccoons made a hell-o of a mess back there. Very depressing....BUT the second patch was left alone.  huh.  Ben thinks they just moved on. So more yummy, sweet NO GMO, sprayed with absolutely nothing organic sweet corn at all markets for a while! And a quick selfie with baby Jonah and I checking out the wagon of beefsteaks which have also been amazing this season! We are still taking orders for Romas by the way! So keep making that sauce as the weather cools down! And for any o...

Strawberries for 2012....

Image
We really missed not having our own strawberries at market this past June!  We are making sure that doesn't happen next year! Folks really missed our organic berries!  This is the process so that we have them for June 2012: These is a bundle of root stock we got in from Nova Scotia this year.  Gorgeous plants, top quality.  Two new varieties this year.  Winter hardy, sweet and plentiful.  We shall see!   Our land makes all the difference I'm certain! Ben pulling the clip planter.  Because of the quality of the Strawberry plants we planted 3 times as much as we had before! Domingo and Manuel using the clip planter to plant the Strawberry plants.  I didn't think it would work, but was surprised to see the success.  This due to excellent plant quality. How many times can I stress the quality of these plants! Just beautiful.   G.W. Allen Nursery in Nova Scotia if you're wondering ;) Planted Strawberries on July 13th, 2011. ...

Because of this hot, dry weather our Organic   'Viva Italia' Roma tomato crop has no disease! We have been able to irrigate when needed during the cool evenings, that combined with these hot, Mexico-like days on this dusty, dry farm the tomatoes have flourished! It is definitely what I like to call a 'tomato year'!  We have enough this year that we can sell wholesale for all your Sauce Making Needs!! All wholesale cases are 25lbs for $25. (25lbs is a half bushel amount). These tomatoes are the thickest, meatiest, tastiest, organic sauce tomato around!  It's simple. All you have to do is email me your order. (You can also head to our website at www.sosnickiorganics.com and use our contact form to place your order.)
