Farm Happenings at River Queen Greens
Can it stay this way forever?
Some highlights of this week:
Beautiful weather
Warm days
No rain
Plenty of sun
I guess I just really love March in New Orleans.
Farm shares have more beautiful salad and cooking greens, roots, herbs, and more. Extras include Johnsdale Farm strawberries, RQG hot sauce, the last Too Tall Far1 read more »
The Last Lost Line (and Hot Sauce!)
The moment we've been dreading is nigh - friend of the farm and onigirazu maker extraordinaire, Colin from the Lost Line, is packing up his sushi rice and fancy knives and moving to Portland. This will be the last week to get his onigirazu in our share, and, tear, his last pop-up at the farm will b1 read more »
Hot Sauce is Back!
This is a big week here at the farm. Why? Because our delicious, super special hot sauce is back! Cheryl's parents are back in town and they spent a rainy day this past week cranking out hot sauce with our frozen hot peppers from this summer. These aren't your grandma's Crystal hot sauce either.

Fog Season
Even with the dense fog every morning, the warm weather this last week has kicked everything into gear. We're slowly starting to see signs of abundant life at our farms, though who knows if this next cold snap will put a damper on things.

It's still a bit touch and go in the fields right now as things that seemed ok at first are showing more signs of freeze damage, and it's taking awhile for everything to get back to full recovery. Our only tota1 read more »

Thankfully, we don't seem to have lost too much at the farm, but the weather slowed everything way way down and it will take a little while to catch u1 read more »
Hard Freeze, Hard Times
I don't have to tell you it's cold outside. We spent the last several days getting our farms as ready as we can for this frigid weather. We haven't checked the West bank yet, but things are generally looking okay on Kentucky St. There's a strong possibility that not everything will pull through out1 read more »
Ash Wednesday (Not Tuesday!) Pick-up
Has anyone checked the weather for next week? Brrrrrr! We're anticipating a hard freeze on Mardi Gras morning, which could do some damage to some of our crops. We'll be blanketing as much as we can with row cover this weekend and keeping our fingers crossed that we don't lose too much!

Arctic Blast? No Thanks!
Have anyone been checking the weather obsessively like we have? It's looking like this weekend is bring some freezing temps, possibly snow, and we're not excited for that one bit. We've just ordered more row cover to tuck our plants in nice and tight before the arctic weather hits. And then we just1 read more »
