🪱 Flipping beds for spring planting! First we pul 🪱 Flipping beds for spring planting!

First we pull up last year's ground cover. Then we broadfork and pitchfork the compacted soil.

Then we TILL - twice!

After leveling the soil with rakes & hoes, we lay drip tape down and ensure it's integrity for future planting.

Finally we lay ground cover, some of which has pre-cut holes for individual starts to be planted...SOON!🌱

💪Takin' advantage of the warm weather for some pro 💪Takin' advantage of the warm weather for some projects! 

This week we focused on tearing down and re-setting up one of the ‘Lungs’, a mini greenhouse in a larger house - aptly named ‘Starts’- for housing plant starts. 🌱🌱🌱

Once our seeds sprout, we move them from inside the ‘Sunroom’ and into ‘Starts’, to harden off before being transitioned outside. This process allows the plants to continually get stronger and healthier before bracing the dynamic spring weather. 🌈

Psssst 😎 CSA sign ups are going FAST so snag your spot soon >> link in bio or on our website echollectivefarm.com plus option for Market Shares too!

🤩Day dreamin' on this #ThrowbackThursday of bright 🤩Day dreamin' on this #ThrowbackThursday of bright beets in the summer sunshine! 
.
We grow red & golden beets out in Mechanicsville - the red feature a deep, earthy flavor while the golden sports more of a bright, almost sweet quality. Both are glorious in soups, salads and stir-frys! We have a soft spot for pickled golden beets on a grilled goat cheese & herb sandwich, or stewed red beets in a winter borscht with sour cream
.
What's your favorite way to enjoy beets? 🍽️

Thinking back to little haikuri growing strong in our greenhouses out in Mechanicsville. 💪

Haikuri turnips are versatile root vegetables - starting out as tender buddies with crisp leaves for salads. As the season progresses, the turnips mature to a hearty texture for roasting & stir-frys. 🍲

Catch turnips, beets, potatoes and more root veggies in our CSA and Iowa City Farmer's Market!
