We're on our way to a great season. The first few harvest days went well - filling the share with greens and strawberries. As we prepare for summer, here is a brief look at the progression of the 2009 season on Clagett Farm.

The first seedlings getting started in the greenhouse in March. These little kale plants were in your first share!
Braving a stormy day in April, a volunteer group from KMPG transplants the kale seedlings into the field.
The same field a few weeks later being harvested for the first share.

As I begin my fourth season working at Clagett, I am excited for all the new growth of spring. Everything is so green and alive. The kohlrabi will be ready soon, all the tomato, pepper, and eggplant seedlings are in the ground, and the sweet corn has sprouted. And one of my favorite things to harvest is just around the corner - get ready for the garlic scapes.
Hope to see you soon at the farm!

Had never heard of a garlic scape before Clagett and now I'm also a fan. When they're sitting in multiple baskets, warm in the sun, the smell is heavenly. And they taste good cooked with freshly harvested kale, too.
