New Ground
It has been coming up on about 2 months, and the farm is now in new ground. The patuxent riverkeeper, Fred Tutman is allowing me to grow on some of his land in upper marlboro. It has been grown in monoculture (corn and soybeans) for many years, although i am told that no pesticides or herbicides have been used. The earth is very tired from overtilling and monoculture. I am working to grow a large diversity of plants and incorporate compost from home, and from weed compost i am creating at the farm. Adding organic matter and allowing nature to reestablish i believe is critical for healing this land and ultimately creating yummy vegetables for you all. Only a few things will be available through the end of fall. Hopefully next season will bring more bounty for you all. Thank you for your continued support and friendships. christy
