Farm Happenings at Sandy's Way Microfarm
Really? Snow and cold! Fall Week #5
The best laid plans are usually laid bare by what mother natural has prepared.
As I write this I have not seen what has survived the "Winter Farm Apocalypse" of 2020.
I spent all day Monday prepping the plots for the storm. I harvested a bunch of produce, planted a bunch of beds for fall and1 read more »
It's all seasonal! The slow down is starting Week #4
September is here and what I call the "slow down" has started.
I noticed it the beginning of last week with the slicer tomatoes. They just haven't been growing well and the amount of fruit set has really fallen off. I also notice it now in the summer squash and some of the lettuce beds that w1 read more »
Challenge upon Challenge..Week #3
Good Lord what a growing season it has been!
So hot and so dry the entire way through!
To be honest with you all I am in panic mode right now. September has really snuck up on me. The hot temps have lulled me into thinking I have more time and I delayed some planting longer than what I1 read more »
Oh the HEAT!! Week #2
I am sick of it! This entire season has been so hot and so dry!
Farming in Colorado is already tough enough without having to deal with this.
It makes it soooooo hard to seed and transplant. I have so many different crops under shade cloth which is the only way I can grow certain veggie1 read more »
Late Summer/Fall CSA Week #1
Summer is slowly fading in the rear view mirror.....

That is often times a challenge, especially with weather in the late part o1 read more »
Week #12. The Final Week for the Spring/Summer Share!
I got away for a few days this week and spent some time in the high country fly fishing with my 16 year old.
I have to tell you it's tough coming back to "the world".
But alas I am back and food is still growing!
This is the final week for the Spring/Summer session. It has been a long and sho1 read more »
Week #11 on deck and the final week #12 in the hole!!!
The summer season is in full swing!
Hard to believe that we are nearing fall, but yes that it is just around the corner.
This is somewhat a transition time on the farm of course as all the "fruiting" crops are really coming in, but new fall crops are also being planted an tended.
Lots of carrots, b1 read more »
Week #10: Veggie Variety Bounty!
The farm is really starting to produce good quantities of many different items! Just tonight (Wednesday) I came home from work and harvested nearly 40 lbs of zucchini and summer squash.
The tomatoes are really starting to ripen. My family of course used a few for BLTs last night a1 read more »
Week #9 comin' up!
Everything is brown all around, but the farm is green as can be! Rain, and cooler temperatures for a few days have been very, very welcome.
But of course, that won’t last.
This is a love, hate time of year for me. I love the bounty that is about to smack me in the face, but hate f1 read more »
