Wow!! It's been really busy around Two Bees Farm. This past weekend folks enjoyed their second vegetable boxes. I was able to fill them with lettuce, chard, carrots, radishes, beets, arugula, spinach, bok choy, herbs, and eggs. The last of the spinach, radishes, and carrots were picked to make room for summer seedlings. As much as I love summer I'll have to admit that I'm sad to see all the beautiful leafy greens go. There's nothing like fresh, crisp lettuce straight from the garden. Warmer weather brings tomatoes, beans, and squash. I'm a little behind on planting this time and will be busy this week working to get everything in the ground. Weeding is starting to become a chore, and one that I will have to force myself to do daily!
The bees all seem to be happy! I was excited to add boxes to the two older hives and should be able to harvest honey by late June! The new hive, which has seen it's share of troubles, and was combined with another new hive apparently poisoned by fermented sugar water, seems to be doing well. I'm keeping a close eye on them and sure hope they stay happy!
If you're looking for a different way to spend an hour or so, come on out and help in the gardens! There's plenty of weeding and planting to be done. I also have seedlings for sale in the greenhouse. Come check it out!
happy planting
