Yay!\u00a0 The Happy Homesteader has a new blog!\u00a0 I haven’t posted in a long<\/em> while because the old WordPress theme stopped letting me rotate photos to post them vertically.\u00a0 And hey, we all know that growing things just naturally need to be photographed vertically, right?\u00a0 So here we are with a brand new site (thank you hubby, aka The Innocent Bystander!) and it should accept the photos the way I take them.<\/p>\n

It’s that time of year — you know — summer crops dying and garden beds being prepped for fall crops.\u00a0 There’s a lot of stuff going on here on The Little Half Acre.\u00a0 The squash and zucchini came out, the green beans and cucumbers are slowing way down so those will come out as well and the spring onions that grew into lovely large storage onions are now drying off in the Microgreens grow room.\u00a0 Those will go into our Winter CSA boxes and also into our winter soups and stews.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The problem with only having half an acre to grow a year’s worth of produce for us to eat and to sell to customers is that you sometimes have to wait waaaay too long to plant the next season’s crops.\u00a0 Look at these lovely tomatoes —<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Brandywine Tomatoes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Unfortunately, it’s August 7th and they haven’t begun to turn red yet!\u00a0 Guess there won’t be any fall\/winter crops planted in this bed since it doesn’t look like the tomatoes will be ready for picking until late September!\u00a0 Yikes!\u00a0 We need every single inch of growing space for the fall and winter greens.\u00a0 We grow lots of lovely salad mixes for the fall farmer’s market as well as for our Winter CSA customers.\u00a0 In addition, we grow kales, spinaches, mustard, beet greens, radishes, bunching onions, carrots, kohlrabi, salad turnips and Oriental greens.\u00a0 Maybe if I go out and ask the tomatoes nicely to get a move on?!?<\/p>\n

Of course, we could just buy more grow bags.\u00a0 How handy those have been!\u00a0 You can fill them with dirt and seed and plop them any old where you get enough sun.\u00a0 Here’s our sweet potatoes (back when we first planted them):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hopefully, over the fall and winter, the Innocent Bystander and the Happy Homesteader will get out there and get a few more beds developed and\/or more bushes and trees cut down to increase the growing space.\u00a0 Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
