The Weblog
This page contains news, event information, and other items added by Ian and Adam, the resident farmers at Old 99. We send out a message every week, but most are set with a delete date about two weeks later. I archive some of the posts if they have content other than weekly availability of produce and meat.
You can send me questions too, which if they are of a general nature, I can post to this Old99 blog.
Old 99 Farm, week of June 8th, 2014
If I had more time I’d post a couple of pics of the now three week old Maremma pups. Very cute. Be sure to visit them, mother Sheba is now more relaxed about visitors.
We’re planting the rest of the hot weather crops: more tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, sweet potatoes.
Two weeks till the Strawberry Solstice Potluck, Sun June 22. Come around 2 with chairs and place-setting, to enjoy strawberries with cream and a light potluck meal. Families with last name starting from A to M please bring beverages or berries. Families N to Z please bring a main dish or salad. I provide the cream etc. RSVP really helps the planning.
Still lots of greens in the greenhouse.
