Autumn Arrives | Concrete Beet Farmers
https://concretebeetfarmers.wordpress.com/2011/09/26/autumn-arrives
Farming in the city, for the city. September 26, 2011. Well, hello. It’s been a while, huh? The summer now seems like a blur of humid evenings with the fan running on high, but now it’s time to pull quilts out of the closet and take a deep breath. It’s fall. I promised a real update come September, so here I am, with fingers poised over the keyboard, trying to find the words to describe how wonderful this season has been. The main emotion that bubbles up is. There are big changes afoot, and we want you t...

Endless, numbered days | Concrete Beet Farmers
https://concretebeetfarmers.wordpress.com/2011/08/26/endless-numbered-days
Farming in the city, for the city. Endless, numbered days. August 26, 2011. Sigh Somehow, every year it happens. August slips by quietly in a haze of late summer and tomatoes-for-dinner-every-night, and all of a sudden the nights are cooler and we’re walking around the State Fair wondering where the last three months went. As a farmer, the change is pace is welcome, but still a little bittersweet. So much summer squash. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. View all posts by concretebeetfarmers →.

https://concretebeetfarmers.wordpress.com/2011/06
Farming in the city, for the city. Monthly Archives: June 2011. June 19, 2011. Well, Minnesota seems to have decided that it should make up for the weeks of no significant rainfall by dumping it on us all in one week! With an inch and a half of rainfall from the storm on Tuesday night and Wednesday, three-quarters of an inch on Friday night, and more rain Saturday afternoon, our plants are sizing up quickly. But so are the weeds! Next week we’ll have an even greater diversity of edibles, with colla...

Farming in the city, for the city. July 10, 2011. July already, huh? We can’t believe it, either. But last weekend at the Uptown Market, where we now sell every Sunday from 11-4, our table was loaded with zucchini, cucumbers, beets, turnips, cabbage, huge heads of lettuce, and all sorts of veggies screaming “IT’S SUMMER! 8221; We spent all of June saying “It’s been a long, slow spring”, and now, quite suddenly, summer is upon us. Thanks for all the help, guys. This entry was posted in Uncategorized.
