Thought I would just let you know about some of the features of our website, now that you have found it! First is the news section, I will be creating periodic updates about the crops that are ready now, or events that are happening. We also have a newsletter sign up on the main page of the site. Be sure to sign up to receive emails from Griggs Farm every so often when we have something exciting going on, like the corn is ready! Also check out the calendar which we will be posting events here on the farm and also in the community. If you have an event that you want to list, send a message through the site and I can post it. Keep checking the site to see what is happening here on the farm!

As far as gardening goes at the moment, its almost time to plant your tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers outside. May 30th is of course not only traditional planting date, but the safe time too. After that we will hopefully not get cold enough weather to damage those plants! However you can plant lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, onions now. They like the cold weather.

On the flowering side of things there are plenty of plants that it is safe to put out now, and just a few to be careful on. It can still get to cold at night for impatiens, begonias, dahlias and a few others. However, there are plenty of flowering plants that can go out now with no fear of the weather. It won’t be too much longer when you can plant it all and then sit back and enjoy it!

Thanks for checking and be sure to come back! Happy gardening!

Thought I would leave you with picture I took on May 8th. Its our apple trees in flower. What a sight! Enjoy!
