Sorry for the loss we have frost coming Monday night
I haven't moved anything out of the greenhouse yet. We are to get down in the 20s this weekend. I'm president of the local farmers market here in Terre Haute Indiana; we have a winter market that we hold inside. We will go back outside the 3rd. Saturday in May thru October...
About the same here our summer markets just started 2 weeks ago, we’ll be wide open with 4 markets a week until November then we go back to 2
❓ I'm glad I found you. I just started watching your channel. Great knowledge thank you for sharing. My question is what do you do with your wheelbarrow of stumps and weeds?
We have Temps dropping to low 36. Not bad. But I am 10 minutes away from gulf Mexico. I got plants to cover. Hate you lost those. Hope make it somewhere down the line.
We are lucky enough to be able to plant cabbage and broccoli during the mid season may-July and still get a harvest before it gets too hot
I know what you are saying about the weather I got onions and we’re going to plant cold crops but they say the temp is going down to in the mid twenties and I have fruit trees with blooms on them I put a frost cloth on them hopefully that will help
I know some peach farmers around here are sweating bullets
Ive been there, frost is sneaky.
Yep, It’ll get you when you least expect it.
Anytime you know there's gong to be a frost saturate your fruit trees and or plants with water. I had 100 tomato plants and it ended up coming a late frost and I took a water hose and soaked them and the ground around them with water and only lost 2 plants. It works!
Thanks for the tip!
Just found your channel. Great work. Bet those flats would have made it if they were on the ground.
You’re probably right.
We're in Fayetteville. What's your schedule for Raeford? Would like to say hello and get some goodies.
1st and 3rd Saturday of the month
Where in Moore county will you be at. We are just up the road from Moore county.. As far as Reaford, we come in the back way thru Ft Liberty
We will be @ the Armory on Thursdays from 9-12:30 and downtown Southern pines on Saturdays from 8:00 - 12:30. We only do Raeford every other Saturday @Mclaughlin park 9-12:30. We may be doing the Pinehurst market on Wednesday afternoon from 3-6
Do you use shade cloth, in the high tunnels, during the Summer?
As of now I have not but may have to this year.
What’s chicken litter??
It is chicken manure with a little wood chips mixed in. It’s a by-product of cleaning out chicken houses between birds in and birds out.
@@LickBranchFarms does it need to be composted first??? Do you have a video on it??
I don’t but just let it age in the weather a few weeks before you use, that will tone it down a bit, go sparely though to start with till you get used to it, good luck!
