No time for a little farm story this week…but I do want to mention that KLRU’s Central Texas Gardener show will air its Pledge special this coming Saturday, March 13, from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. As part of the program, they’re re-broadcasting some of their favorite segments, including the one they shot here at our farm last April! Obviously, we’re tickled, and hope you can tune in to watch our repeat performance and do what you can to pledge to KLRU. Central Texas Gardener is such a wonderful show (and no, I’m not just saying so because we’re on it!) and it deserves our support.
Also, as another little plug – if you’re interested in flower gardening, you should check out the weekly blog written by Linda Lehmusvirta, Central Texas Gardener’s producer. It’s informative, and always features some really beautiful photos.

We’re starting to finally see some growth from our early spring crops! Here’s what we’ll be bringing to the Jollyville Road farm stand this Wednesday:
Lettuce mix; some lettuce/chicory salad mix; spinach; bunches of green onions; green garlic; bunches of leeks; the first of the young Asian greens mix; the first baby arugula; bunches of cilantro; bags of chard; broccoli greens (a delicious substitute for kale, while we await our new crop of dinosaur); some brussels sprouts; and a bit of this and that.
Thanks!

Jo, thank you so much! I’ve learned so much from you & John over the years. And with the CTG segments, I’ve heard from countless people who found your techniques invaluable in their home gardens. And I love your blog (formerly newsletter) for your fabulous stories of life on the farm, your beautiful perspectives, and encouragement to keep on trying. You two are a gift to my life.

Thank you Linda! Believe me, the feeling is mutual. You do so much for the gardening community, and we sure enjoy our relationship with you. I can’t wait to watch the show this afternoon!
