Market Day & Field Prep

Posted by groundworkfarm ⋅ May 10, 2011 ⋅ Leave a Comment

We had a great time at the opening day of the Kennebunk Farmer’s Market. It was a nice morning and the plants all looked great. Many greens, herbs, flowers, onions, leeks found happy new homes. It was also so nice to see all the familiar faces that we have missed all winter. The reconnection is a great part of a local, community farmer’s market. Most agreed, it was a long, hard winter in Maine this past year.

Groundwork will have lots more starts for sale this week and hopes that by week 3 we will be bringing salad greens to eat! We could a little more sunny, warmer weather though.

Field preparation has begun in earnest, with lots of tractor work on the farm. I mowed, then spread compost, then disked one of our main growing areas, and I will not rototill the beds for seeding and transplanting. Lots to do.

Come visit us at the market, pick up some plants for your garden and gear up for the season!!!
