 Flail mowing the clover cover crop. These fields will subsoiled, rototilled and tarped to prepare for our late season plantings of carrots, beets, radishes, kale, etc.
 We haven't grown celery in years for several reasons: the celery we have grown has been more bitter and fibrous than what our customers are accustomed to, it is unpredictable because it sometimes bolts, and it was one of our least profitable crops. But these were one of those winter-time impulse buys while perusing seed catalogues. We got two varieties, Chinese Pink and Chinese White, from Baker Creek Seeds. They are supposed to be small, "bunching" types. We just transplanted them two days ago. We'll see how they do...
