Kiwi Roots Farm

Hey folks. Busy ole couple of days here at Kiwi Roots. Finally got our Ginger in! Our seed was late this year which has set us back, but we should still get a good yield all going well. Zucchini is picking up and lot’s of Snap Peas filling out with help from this beautiful, much needed rain! Look forward to another week at the Stand with lot’s of fresh available all grown right here at Kiwi Roots Farm. Cheers Dan

Good morning folks. Has been a nice past couple of days, with very reasonable temps out there! Busy ole week on our closed days at Kiwi Roots but feeling good about what I got done.

Unfortunately, we are out of stock on Carrots. There was a Carrot frenzy at the Stand last week and we sold out of our first planting already. Admittedly, I had a tough time with our Spring Carrot plantings this year, with poor germination being the main culprit. So, what that means is we will have Carrots in and out of stock depending on how the timing lands for the next bed to mature. It is what it is and hopefully we will have a strong Fall Carrot planting to make up for it.

Other crops coming in this week are pointed Cabbage and we have some Escarole for the first time! There is also some additional herbs now available like Thyme, Mint, Sage and Oregano. Our Snaps Peas are very close as well as Zucchini and some of those first harvests may land over the weekend. It will probably be the last week for Spring Bok Choy and Spinach. Arugula is back for a short period of time and then that will be it until the Fall, but we will offer the Micro version of Arugula for those interested.

Have a great wrap up to the week and look forward to seeing you at the Stand. Cheers D&K

Morning folks. Another week underway and boy does time fly while growing veggies 😜 I really enjoy this time of year (if squitos aren’t eating me up) the sunsets are soo good here on the shoreline. The evenings lately have been perfect temp to tuck in new seedlings, which is a weekly ritual throughout the growing season. Believe it or not and I feel like I say this every year but Fall planting is getting super close! I am currently refining my plan with hopes to add a few Fall goodies that we haven’t had before. Other than that, stringing up Snap Peas, trellising Peppers, Eggplants and Tomatoes is well underway and before too long we will be enjoying the sweet taste of summer. This week we might have our first pointed cabbage at the stand and possibly a wee few Zucchini if they get there.. That’s it for now. I hope everyone has a great remainder of the week. Cheers Dan
