We planted early…

so we cultivate early.

Not a bright April this far; so we took advantage of yesterday’s sunshine to cultivate (weed) our earliest field planting which had a bit of chickweed and grass that survived tillage.

These shots are Starfighter lettuce grown for mix, we seed 4 seeds/cell in 128s and plant at 6” in three rows.

We succession plant all season, every 2 weeks in the spring, every week in the summer, and tail back to every other week in the fall.

These were transplanted March 19 and will be ready to harvest first week of May ~6 weeks, in the summer the time between transplanting to harvest is less than 4 weeks.

We grow a mature full size lettuce, let the robots and mechanized outfits chase the petite mesclun market.

Growing veggies for the fine folks of Southeastern Massachusetts, w/ a focus on nutrient quality. Always interested in the evolution of digital payments.  🎩 

Early planting allows for early cultivation. Succession planting throughout the season ensures consistent harvests. Focus on full size lettuce, not petite varieties
