East Ridge Farms

The sure likes the rain! Was thinking I might have to irrigate (ran the lines) but the rain showed up just in time! Lets hope that hot spell wasn’t too hot for the garlic! The garlic doesn’t like when temps get close to 30*C early in the growing season.

Got the in the ground last week! Stay tuned for our how to plant potatoes video coming soon!

The soil is calling…. The rains passed, we got a few sunny days and now everything is waking up… especially the weeds! Managed to get out on the farm and clean, de-weed and cover a few rows before the weeds really took hold. Will be continuing to get rows de-weeded and prepped for planting over the next few weeks. Also planing on starting some seeds, setting up the pea fence and if the weather stays dry… planting potatoes! The season is officially kicking off!

The is looking 👌. It’s growing a little more quickly than I’d like for this time of year. The soil is looking a little soggy & compressed. Still dissappointed I didn’t manage to get mulch on the row for winter. Not looking forward to the weeds.
