ROSEDALE FARMS IN ACTION!
APRIL Signals Early Spring Planting! Peas: Weekly plantings began on April 3, Beans: April 17-24 Zucchini & Summer squash: April 20 Mixed greens (lettuce): April 16 Sweet corn: April 9, 14, 16, 27Our planting was on schedule, but as Farming goes, on May 1 we had a 23° freeze! Three acres of corn were re-planted!We also irrigated our grapes for eight hours to prevent crop loss. And, row covers were placed on all strawberries to protect the buds! It's been a scramble and we've lost a lot of sleep, but we are still on schedule for early sweet corn on the 4th of July and every thing else is back on track.MAY - Rosedale starts to bottling white wines, and continues to plant more crops almost daily. JUNE - Even with the weather being uncooperative, we still are on target with all crops growing. JULY - OUR SWEET CORN IS AVAILABLE!! Just in time for the Fourth! Enjoy
