FRUIT SET!

Look at these pictures for evidence of our first fruit set on TOMATO'S and SQUASH! That's right....we not only have blossoms on our produce, we also have zucchini squash and tomato's on the vine. That is the earlist we have ever had blossom set. So, Peacefield Farm is feeling very BLESSED!

The Barn is almost Complete

The siding is on! Just the doors and windows remain to be finished.

LUDINGTON FARMERS MARKET

Well, our first Market Day at Ludington was cold and wet! Brrrr......!!

So, we are grateful to all who turned out to make your weekly purchase of our salad greens. We were happy to see so many familiar faces, especially on a less-than-pleasant day. Hopefully, this Friday will be nicer weather.

FROSTY MORNING

We experienced two frosty mornings in a row. The thermometer dipped to 32d Sunday morning and 29d Monday morning. But the row cover inside the hoophouse (that's what you see in the picture) saved our tomatoes, squashes, peppers, eggplant and cukes. Well, truth to be told, a couple of the squash leaves got zinged Monday morning, but they will recover.

Yeah, I know, it isn't the prettiest picture....looks aren't the best. But it does the job of protecting the plants and that's what counts.  

So....hopefully we are past all the hard frosts for our area - though we could still get a touch here 'n there before the end of May.

Our tomatoes are looking healthy 'n strong; starting to put out shoots and wanting to climb. Time to set up the trellis system. I'll have a picture of those lovely tomatoes next time.
