I delivered 40 straw bales for gardening customers of mine and received a sweet surprise. I rolled up and what was playin', Farming Tunes Vol 2 from my website Spotify playlists! Awesome taste of summer yesterday, I literally have a sunburn on the top of my arms and hay fever on the bottom. I'd say it's officially farming season!

All over good vibes seeing the broccoli, cabbage, and leafy greens doing so well. We're keeping the greenhouse 70° and watering in the morning every day to ensure good germination. The potting soil has enough nutrients and water holding capacity to start and maintain the seedling, but as they get bigger they will need a little more food. Getting closer to opening! It's just around the corner and I'm stoked. Hope you are too! For more Homegrown News subscribe to my newsletter!

Stockbridge School of Agriculture professors do their best to get students as much hands-on work throughout the year. Today my Organic Vegetable Production class went on a field trip to Simple Gifts Farm in Amherst, MA. We talked with owner Jeremy about his organic farming operation and helped him weed his spinach that he planted last fall in one of his high tunnel hoop houses. It felt good to finally have my hands in the soil again! For more Homegrown News subscribe to my newsletter!

With a little creativity and know-how I welded stabilizers on our sprayer's extended booms to give them the strength they needed. These new booms will help us be more efficient with less passes in the field, decrease the soil compaction, and in the end, save us time, fuel, and money. More importantly, less of a environmental footprint! For more Homegrown News subscribe to my newsletter!

This Cole Planter will make farm life a bit easier while providing a better product to you, my customers. If you don't know what a planter is, it's a piece of equipment towed behind a tractor that sows (plants) seeds in rows throughout a field. The planter lays the seeds down in precise manner and are distributed through devices called row units. The row units are spaced evenly along the planter. Planters vary greatly in size, from 1 row to 48, with the biggest in the world being the 48-row John Deere DB120. The space between the row units also vary greatly. The most common row spacing in the United States today is 30 inches. For more Homegrown News subscribe to my newsletter! Like or Tweet this article to a friend by clicking the badges below.
