Since we live and farm in this mild climate of Western Oregon, shouldn’t we be growing food year round?
Of course! What are we waiting for?
Well, we’re looking for a little advice, some seeds and some folks to nerd out on winter vegetables with us. We’ve got some ideas and are making some plans but we’d like to talk to the folks who are doing this fine thing of providing fresh food through the winter months.
We’ve just sown seeds for a fall crop of cabbages and for overwintering onions. We’ll be direct sowing parsnip, kale and rutabaga soon. We’d like to grow some brussels sprouts, too.
Any thoughts?
We’d love to hear ‘em. Thank you! And Happy Solstice!

So now its mid-July and its time to get planting for the fall and winter crops. On our list so far:
Bietola Verde di Taglio
Broccoli de Ciccio
Kale, Blue Vates
Parsley, Ein Fache Schnitt
Cabbage, Red and Green
Shelling Peas, Pioneer
and Garlic, of course!!
