[TheUWfarm] COME PLAY AND EAT FOOD!!! To do list

Hello all, there is a ton to be done on the farm as well as a ton to be taken home and eaten!! Right now in the small fridge in the greenhouse (to the right of the big fridge) there is a large black trash bag STUFFED FULL of spinach and chard! Please don't hesitate to come down and take some! Actually, I'm pleading with you all to come get food from the farm! It will suck if any of it goes to waste! And while you're eating, might as well knock one or two of the following tasks off of the to-do-list! 

Thank's, I hope you're enjoying die Sonne!!

TO DO LIST week of July 5th (this will also be posted on the outside of the farm cabinet)

Everywhere: WATER, WATER, WEED!! (watering is best in the morning or late afternoon/ evening because the sun in the day will suck it all up, we are planning on making a watering chart but for now water the beds where the soil feels the driest the deepest.)

Area A:

*Harvest:

  -A7: fennel bulbs: pick and eat biggest one's, leave smaller one's to grow

  -A1: Onions

  -A6: Daikon Radish seed pods- try them they're really good!!

*Take out Pea plant in A5- roots and all. 

*Extend long A beds

*Use a hose to scrape off aphids on underside of all quinoa leaves- careful of the seeds!

*Eat raspberries and strawberries

Area B:

*Chop in all the cut up cover crop and roots

*B9- Stake up fava beans

Area C:

*Harvest:

  -C2- Beets

  -C10- large brassica's- eat leaves!

*Sow in Buckwheat where peas were pulled up.

*C4- needs water, pick flowers off of Anise Hyssop plant

*In the Buckets with the beets alongside greenhouse- look for leaf minors- little white eggs underneath the leave's- rub them off! 

*C11- Cut out the suckers from the fig tree coming up

*C12- direct seed Carrots 

*Weed the stump by the fig tree that is cultivated for mushrooms- also water the log!

*Build a trellis for the kiwi plant growing under the False Quince tree! It really needs it!!

* Raccoon-proof the chicken tractor

Area D:

*Weed around beds D13 and 14- where the wood-chips are

*add twine to all tomato trellises where the tomatoes are growing taller than they're supported

*Weed area to the right of the Farm sign by the Burk

Milpa Bed:

*Harvest heads of Lettuce- plant more that is in the greenhouse

*Research the pest that is attacking the corn- it is forming symmetrical wholes in the leaves. (Beth says it might be Corn Morer...)

Thank's everyone, hopefully I'll see you down at the farm soon!

peace
