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.
OLd99 Farm, week of May 24 2015
We got through the frost zone, no serious damage to the crops already planted outside. Looks like it’s full steam ahead now with planting the rest of the beds.
Berries look good: strawberries in full bloom and raspberries with flower buds. Currants already ripening up: will have lots of black currants this year. Good for making syrup for pancakes, cold remedies and cordials.
Lovely greens still in good shape. I have to pick the spinach well to reduce the stemmy bits but it’s all tasty! Thanks for the feedback from one regular about that.
So spinach, kale, lettuces, mixed greens, chard, rocket are the list this week for greens.
Healthy eating,
Ian and Cami
