Asparagus Fern


We are so very pleased that we made the decision to stop picking our asparagus field early this year. The growth of fern that has come up since we stopped picking is amazing, the best we have seen for several years. This means that the crowns are now very healthy and busy storing energy so that they will produce a great crop next year.

Now Picking Peas

July 15. Peas love cool weather and our pea crop is looking fantastic. We have just started picking our delicious, sweet garden peas. We should now have peas at our farm store right through until the first frost in the fall. Pictured here is our granddaughter showing off her peas. Our two granddaughters love to go out to the pea field with us so they can pick and eat peas right off the vines.
