Welcome to Week 5! It went from 50 degrees and raining to 90 degrees and very sunny from last weekend to this weekend. Plants don't love such a big temperature swing, so we having been working hard all weekend to keep things well irrigated, as well as doing a big seeding for fall and winter crops. Some of the spring crops we have been enjoying (like onions, scallions, sprouting broccoli, etc.) were seeded around this time last year, believe it or not! Some crops are definitely on the way out, like green garlic, bok choi, and spinach, but lots of new crops are taking their place, like cabbage, squash, and basil.
Another note: We have been donating a lot of surplus produce to The Long Haul Kitchen, a mutual aid group serving the unhoused folks in the Sodo and Georgetown neighborhoods of Seattle. I have added a donation item as an extra item within our inventory, if you are so inclined to help us help them! They cook and serve about 120 meals each week and distribute them along with harm reduction supplies and other items like socks and bottled water. Thank you!
