I was reminded that I hadn’t mentioned in the last post about potatoes in the winter shares. I don’t know the details yet, but am guessing it will be similar as the past few years: you will be able to order and pay separately for potatoes that I will get and store for you. Stay tuned as I get those details.
One of the reasons I do need people to start paying for the Winter shares now is because of hay. I used to make my own hay here. It was always an added stress on the season, but is an important part of the composting process and soil fertility needs for the vegetables. Last year I bought hay from a teenager in the community who is starting a hay business, and am doing the same this year. The hay was delivered unexpectedly on Saturday. It’s a couple thousand dollars that he was generously willing to wait for me to pay until I have the funds. I was counting on some of the winter share purchases to pay for the hay. Sorry to put a bit of pressure on, but the sooner some of you are able to pay for the winter shares the sooner I can pay him…
As always if you have any questions, let me know,
Thanks!
