Bird expert, Phil Tamplin, installed Bluebird houses on our farm to help increase their population! While installing his homemade birdhouses, we inspected boxes that were already on the farm and were delighted to find bluebirds and numerous eggs. “Thank You” Phil for your thoughtful care to the birds of KY. Come to our farm and visit our Bluebird Trail!

We have 6 eager interns and three wwoofer volunteers helping the Head Market Gardner this season. Yesterday the team transplanted a whole field of basil, tomatoes and eggplant AND prepared for the Saturday three farmer’s markets that we go to every week…LaGrange, Beargrass christian church in St Matthews and the brand new market at Douglas Loop on Bardstown Rd.
The Farmer’s Market Season has begun and we are thrilled!

Today I spent some good quality time in our TOMATO HOUSE. We have created a lovely home for our heirloom tomatoes. We started with a large hoop house…covered it with a double layer of plastic sheeting and then attached a little hut at one end with a wood burning stove. VOILA a warm and cozy nursery for our young tomatoes.
Many thanks to our interns for stoking that wood stove at 2am!!
I tried to capture the sequence of their growth pattern… there is the leaf and stalk stage…then the little flowers bloom out …as the flower fades it gives way to the small green tomato toddler stage. (This is where we are now in the Foxhollow T House)
Next step…more swelling, growing greener and greener until finally that yummy tomato red starts to appear. We will let you know as soon as Tomato Harvest Days begin. Until then, I will cherish tip toeing into the T House…listening to the classical music playing on the radio chosen especially for the sake of the young ones…and drinking in the beauty and soul warmth of new growth in the Spring.

As I stroll throughout the farm I am greeted by so many Spring Babies. This is a close up of some of the baby vegetables that were planted as seeds in the greenhouse last month and are awaiting their big day to be transplanted to the gardens. It won’t be long…just a few more weeks of growth and daily watering until they are ready to find their new home in the Market garden.
