We left you hanging last year, when family needs overwhelmed our schedule. \u00a0The hoped for year-round garden didn’t happen. \u00a0 \u00a0But never fear! \u00a0We started New Year’s day to rebuild. \u00a0Better. \u00a0Faster. \u00a0Stronger. \u00a0 Or maybe that was a different story. \u00a0At any rate, expanding the size of the garden (yes, it’s growing again), \u00a0upgrades to the drip irrigation system, soil testing, compost spreading, seed starting… \u00a0all those things are getting us ready for a really exciting spring.<\/p>\n

Watch for updates to the “Is it ready yet?” page. \u00a0That one is under construction pending all the new varieties we have in store this year. \u00a0Like the chef’s choice heirloom San Marzano sauce tomatoes that will join our wonderful black heirlooms, two new varieties of okra, a new snap bean, squashes we’ve never seen in East Texas groceries, gourmet ‘cipollini’ type onions and maybe even a try at a Cassabanana<\/a>. \u00a0Yes, we’ll keep old favorites around, too.<\/p>\n

We’ll also try to keep our garden log online to help answer those questions about how we grow our veggies and what we do to meet the challenges of bringing new goodies to our East Texas supporters. \u00a0I’ll let you know when that is ready to publish.<\/p>\n

First spring greens, like the baby mustard greens pictured above, should be ready mid-March. \u00a0See you then!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
