Green Smoothies and kale chips for breakfast – yum!

Hello folks – no menu today (ok, I have one, but no time to post it!).  It’s May, which brings wonderful, joyful work in the fields – lots of it, and one of our busiest months at the bakery to boot.  Which is to say – things may be quiet here for a while.  Some photos, some words, but kitchen organizing and the Ten Steps will have to wait a bit.

Hoping you’re outside too, with your hands in the earth.

A few quick carrot-planting thoughts:

Mark your rows, so that you can easily weed (it can be very hard to tell all those teeny sprouts apart!).  Plant your seeds, water them well, then cover them with boards.  Carrot seedlings are super sensitive to drought, so make your life easier and cover them up.  Keep watering so it stays moist under the boards – take them  off once you’ve got some beautiful seedlings, and even then watch them carefully to make sure they don’t dry out.  Have fun!
