With the recent school closure, we had to leave our farm right at the beginning of the spring season. Unfortunately this means that not only do we lose a large portion of time we would normally spend working on the farm, we are also unable to plant new crops that would be able to utilize all this great rain we have been having. While our farm is suffering in some ways, people not being on the farm could also be a blessing in disguise. Without people constantly attending to their beds, nature may take its course and wonderful things may happen. Our bed group has already seen this happen multiple times! Earlier in the year, after leaving our bed alone for a few days, we began to get all these mystery sproutlings. It turned out to be arugula and a lot of it. And then it happened again with celery! Below are some pictures of how much celery had come in in just a few days. So instead of being completely bummed out that we can't work on our one beds at the moment, we should be somewhat optimistic of how many amazing crops could come out of this!
