These were planted on Saturday and Sunday and Monday and are coming up already. These trays have 288 cells each. That makes 4,608 total cells in the 16 trays. The trays are in box that has bottom heat to speed up germination. In about 2 to 3 weeks they will be big enough to transplant into larger cells (48 / tray)<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">First noticed fall colors on October 14, and they continue to delight. Laurie closed our market here at the farm on October 19, but we are still selling tomatoes and peppers and winter squash at open air markets in Ambridge on Thursdays, 4 pm-dusk and in Beaver on Saturdays, 10am-1pm. Produce available from other growers...apples, potatoes, red and green cabbage, kale, turnips, rutabagas, parsnips, radishes and more! Tomorrow, October 28, is our last day in Coraopolis, 3:30 pm-dusk.</span><br />

<div style="clear: both; text-align: CENTER;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Much of Monday's market was T-shirt weather. We had a special helper, our 5 year old granddaughter! On Tuesday, filled with optimism, we loaded the trailer with empty buckets and headed to the field. We returned about 5:30 pm with 600 pounds of tomatoes and lots of peppers. Much of rainy Wednesday was spent wiping and sorting. Market on Thursday was chilly, but mercifully dry. On Friday, once again, we loaded empty buckets on the trailer and picked 300 pounds of tomatoes and more peppers. Saturday morning the low temperature was a frosty 30.5 degrees. Perhaps no more harvesting.</span><br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Today we did no farming for the first time since June! After church we enjoyed an omelet made with our peppers...hiked through fields and woods...savored coffee and worked a crossword puzzle on the veranda...watched the sky and the trees change color as the sun set on another spectacular fall day!</span><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDwnYdQgHIUkeqdFDC38tx-T61kxCIX5IMcglRqPHD81L22gyeWUMxQs0Ovzv0EYSFz9fA_wloNhQ0SxbLdjtK3DtV_aJ7jV8G4m4bpAjx1SEtMCnhd27jA4_Q7piEOH5JOtsoVPd137lq/s320/IMG_7649.JPG" /></div>

This morning I was off work and helped to plant the "vine crops" : zucchini, cucumbers, melons. We also added a few (about 30 plants--that's a few) acorn squash and small butternut squash at the end. They will come in earlier than the rest of the winter squash, which is still in the greenhouse.</div>

Things are being planted in the Flat Field. You know it's western PA when we can specify which field it is by calling it the flat one. It's a ways from the house, so for irrigation water dad has the plastic hose running from the house. It snakes down the hill and around to the fields he will be planting this year. In this picture, trees obscure it, but the farmhouse would be at the extreme right side, up the hill.</div>

It has made it nice to get field work done but is starting to get a little scary. We are forecast to get some rain today and the next few days also. Hope we do,the ground is pretty dry. Also with this 'good' weather I don't have any excuse for being behind.</div><div> </div><div>In the greenhouse the peppers are all transplanted and growing. The tomatoes are all seeded and in the germination chamber. If you go to the garden centers you can see plants big enough to set out but I prefer to "plant after my neighbors rather than replant with them". That being said this mild spring it would have been nice to have a high tunnel. I know the greenhouse heat bill will be less than usual.</div><div></div> <br /><br /> .<br /> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMxF8NpGqCggIgcgO1f351HjsjNPBpjJtk_eDK8oE-cq4qpxzeFKZR2BH41TIzrcmu1ssIr-iBiRh6iQtVuOcoC-Nmjc3FV3rTeLR8OtQ4JZTN6zNcdMd4G09MBCowPDPJCBIpjq1izbQ/s1600/IMG_5160.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731225997234591618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMxF8NpGqCggIgcgO1f351HjsjNPBpjJtk_eDK8oE-cq4qpxzeFKZR2BH41TIzrcmu1ssIr-iBiRh6iQtVuOcoC-Nmjc3FV3rTeLR8OtQ4JZTN6zNcdMd4G09MBCowPDPJCBIpjq1izbQ/s320/IMG_5160.JPG" /></a></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOryzPya9GuDlCs42Jq7yYBYGaJNOMHiO3bq2C8X8n5q0ThSV8lnXJRIUl5wqxPnZyUsyTllBvcPea_bRYLI8WynDj_IPA8sIlC3RdX_dCJfISiub_fd47d1SNjp-rVfiM1uOsEu1oBKw/s1600/IMG_5159.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731226419707890594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOryzPya9GuDlCs42Jq7yYBYGaJNOMHiO3bq2C8X8n5q0ThSV8lnXJRIUl5wqxPnZyUsyTllBvcPea_bRYLI8WynDj_IPA8sIlC3RdX_dCJfISiub_fd47d1SNjp-rVfiM1uOsEu1oBKw/s320/IMG_5159.JPG" /></a></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div></div>Douds-Floyd Farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12638526320297286610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573679275684018130.post-45725648915910338422012-04-07T14:31:00.001-04:002012-04-07T14:41:54.598-04:00April brings no showers<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: left;">

Mom says, "Now that the weather is nice and we have lot's to write about, I don't want to be in at the computer. I'd be rather be outside doing stuff." So, here's what they are doing today:<br />
<br />

Dad is spreading manure, or to put it nicely, adding organic matter to the soil. It's a two tractor job.</div>

The greenhouse is filling up. After starting the first peppers right after it was covered, Dad has now moved on to planting seeds for the early tomatoes. Mom has been transplanting peppers from the small flats (244) to large (36 or 48). She started out working in her carhart overalls, but soon changed to lighter gear late this morning, and now she took a break for somewhere cooler. Even on a mild day with a brisk breeze the greenhouse gets hot.<br />

What else is planted? Besides tomatoes and LOTS of peppers, there is some lettuce (shown above), cabbage and other cole crops, and onions.<br />
<br />
Maybe we will soon get some April showers and the people who are doing all this work will have time to come inside and post something.</div>

Dad has been busy fixing & recovering the greenhouse. He's redone some of the frame and replaced the translucent plastic with a clear, sturdier polycarbonate. Here are a few pictures that I took, until it rains and he is inside working on the computer again.</div>

Friday afternoon snow started falling again. By dark or shortly afterward the ground was snow-covered again. PennDot was out on our road by 8PM. Predictions were 1 to 3 " then 2 to 4". Last I checked a total of 5" by Sunday. We also have a lot of wind so there is a lot of blowing snow with almost zero visibility at times. So Kate went sled riding. Phil and Becky watched from the window until Phil decided it looked like enough fun to brave the wind and cold (16.5 F, 15 to 25mph).

So we learned some things, saw some friends, even went in the pool and hot tub one evening. Mostly got some ideas to try this year and our enthusiasm cranked up a little for a new season. Spring will be here soon!!</div>
