Time is flying around here these days. And probably where you are too. But what else is new, right?
The gardens are growing nicely and looking healthy. The main crops are nearly at their peak and starting to mature. Our Fall / Winter garden plantings are up and taking off. With most of the hard work in the gardens all caught up (installing supports and trellises, drip irrigation lines, planting, etc.), we have been able to start working on annual maintenance and construction projects.
If you have been with us for some time, you know that our seedhouse project has been progressing over the years, in stages, as we can afford it. This past week, another little piece was completed. We finished work on pouring a concrete slab in front of the receiving doors. This will make unloading trucks so much easier. Since the job required some excavation, I used that gravel to form up a little, but much needed, parking area. Little things like this make it more efficient and tidier around here.
The hay crew showed up this morning and started mowing. With the very odd start to the season this year (wet then hot then wet then hot . . .), this is only the second time in the 25 years that I have been operating the farm that we got a second cutting of hay off of the fields!
This is just a quick update to let you know what has been going on around the farm. From all of us at the Victory Seed Company, we hope that you are having a great summer.
