Gearing up for Spring!

Hi!

February is upon us and we're gearing up for spring!  We're getting ready for a wonderful spring of more cool weather crops of brassicas (broccoli, cauliflower, etc.) along with tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers. 

It's that time of year to cut limbs/trees for our Shiitake mushroom.  The more water oak logs we have the more Shiitakes we can grow and put in our Farm Share bags.  In saying this if you have or know of anyone that has oak trees and wouldn't mind us having one or more, depending on the size of the limbs we need, please let us know.  All in all, this 2016 year is going to be a year that we'll ask for help...which is a wonderful thing.  Soon we'll have enough money, we pray, to rent a tractor to move chips we've had decomposing over the last months and we'll reach out for help with the spreading and moving of them for walkways, plant bedding, etc.  We'll also need help with harvesting, planting, etc., a few hours each week.  We're not sure right now if we can pay or only offer an exchange for teaching/sharing.  Let us know if you know of anyone that may want to get their hands dirty.  :) 


Thanks so much for supporting our Little Eden and our Mission.
