Garden Planning Step 3

-

Step 3 in our garden planning is one of the most fun. Basically it involves drooling over seed catalogues and getting excited about the upcoming growing season.

This year we will be growing a lot of the same fruits and vegetable. However, we are playing around with varieties and seed companies this year. We have purchased our 2019 seeds from West coast seeds, T and T seeds and Early's farm and garden market.

 Take a look below to see what we hope to be able to offer you this summer. We will get into a more detailed list as the growing season progresses!

 Arugula, Wasabi Arugula, Asparagus Beans, kidney beans, green bush beans, yellow bush beans, green pole beans, Barlotti beans, Edamame, Red beets, mixed beet blend, broccoli, broccoli rabe, Copenhagen Cabbage, Taiwan Cabbage, Danish bullhead cabbage, Red Jewel Cabbage, Napa Cabbage,  mixed carrots, white/purple/cheddar/green cauliflower, celery, radicchio, cucumbers, eggplant, kale, kohlrabi, leeks, mixed lettuce, Watermelon, mustard greens, spring onions, onions, scallions, Pac Choi, green peas, snap peas, sweet peppers, paprika pepper, jalapeno peppers, Hungarian wax peppers, Serrano peppers, cayenne peppers, french basket radish, radish, daikon, spinach, pumpkin, potatoes, zucchini, Swiss Chard, tomatoes and more tomatoes, basil, cilantro, cumin, dill, Brussels sprouts, sweet basil, artichoke, asparagus, endive, sage, mint, marjoram, tarragon, oregano, grand rapids lettuce, romaine lettuce, Simpson curled lettuce

 Now we just have to wait for the seeds we have ordered online to arrive. To help pass the time we will start planting a few of the seeds we picked up locally. Stay tuned for that.

2024 CSA now Open

-
  Our 2024 CSA is now open!! Click Here to join our mailing list. What is a CSA?  CSA stands for Community supported Agriculture. Producers give people options for fresh local food during harvest times. Typically a customer pays for the whole season well in advance of harvest to secure their share of the harvest.  However, to keep costs down for customers we are offering a weekly option instead.   What do you offer? For those who sign up to our list you will receive an email with an order form showing what we have available that week.  You will have the option to purchase individual items or our weekly boxes.   No prepaying for the whole season. However, weekly orders will have to be paid in full once they are confirmed. All orders will be first come first served. You will have the option to pick up from us directly or we will have a Saskatoon and Warman pick up during the week.  Our produce is all natural and never sprayed and is grown...

Hello!

Hello again! We have been naughty bloggers and it has almost been a year since our last post. Why? well life is the short answer. The long answer is with all the social media platforms which do you focus on to bring in customers? We are not sure about the answer so we stuck to Facebook and Instagram. You can find links to both of our accounts on the left hand of your screen and at the end of this post Keeping a blog updated is a lot of work, especially if you are not sure if anyone is reading it..lol and extra especially if you tend to ramble. Nonetheless, we are going to try and start it up again. We are going to try and feature a recipe each week that includes something that we sell. We tend to be dreamers so hopefully it works out as well as we are hoping. Thanks again for stopping by. If you want to keep up to date with what is going on here at Pickle Patch Gardens make sure you sign up for our newsletter. The link is on the left hand side of the screen.  You can als...

Happy New year and garden plan

Happy New Year!! It is hard to believe that 2019 is here already! Where does the time go!  Here at Pickle Patch Gardens we are already starting to plan for this years growing season. It is a little hard to do when the garden looks like this. Yes, that is the garden behind the tractor rim in the middle of the picture. It is also hard to believe that this is a small amount of snow for winter out here. Unfortunately, we will likely have a lot more snow in the next couple of months. We need the moisture, but lots of snow is no fun either! So how do we plan for our 2019 growing season you ask?  Step 1 is to go over our notes from last year and see what worked and what did not. It will be a little hard to do this year due to the hail storm we had in June. However, we still have an idea. More on that in another post. We also go over placement, which brings us to step two Step 2 is to look at last years garden plan and do crop rotation. We have made this ...
