Asparagus

The typical asparagus field has a life expectancy of 14 years. In 2003 we completed our 19th year with the same great yield we had for the last 7 years.The asparagus is becoming sweeter and better tasting every year.

Strawberries

The strawberries have a mighty berry aroma with excellent flavor and strong skin (a good thing). At the end of the  season, I picked 5 strawberries and stored them in the refrigerator in an open container for over a month. At that time the strawberries were an ugly dark purple, 1/3 to 1/2 their original size (dehydrated), with their mighty berry aroma and no mold on them (quality). 

I apply a small amount of fertilizer twice a week from bloom throughout most of the summer (no chemical sprays). I noticed that the berry plants had more runners earlier in the season than ever before. The stand got thicker even after a high yielding harvest.

Raspberries

In 1997 we transplanted raspberries and foliar sprayed them every week with a bio-fertilizer until mid August. By the first fall we had harvested l/10th of a crop with new plants 5 feet tall and up to 10 daughter plants within a Yard of row (unheard of in the academic circles). The summer of 1998, I again sprayed fertilizer weekly and harvested 1/2 of a crop with primocanes growing 8 feet tall (again unheard of).

Cucumbers

We grew 60 bushel of small cucumbers for canning in 2000 and decided to use that as our upper limit for 2001.  I used about 10 lbs calcium carbonate and 1 pt humate/acre with 1/2 in. irrigation water every 3-4 days (when the ground was dry under the cucumber leaves). Trese stated she could see the effect of the watering in 3 days because the cucumbers were larger than the other 2 days since watering. This cycle went on throughout the harvest until we filled all the orders at 80 bushels from the same size area and a shorter season than the year previous. Consumers have commented on a better tasting pickle with more crunch than they could raise themselves.

Sweet Corn

Our sweet corn is the best you will find, organically grown with a crisp sweet flavor.

Pumpkins and Squash

Pumpkins and squash were planted with a fertilizer containing bacteria placed in the furrow. They came out of the ground and never looked back. By fall we had huge dense fruit, with very few bad ones, that stored very well. Powdery mildew is now nonexistent in the field.
