Spring is Come!

Six Arrows Farm is pleased to announce that despite evidence to the contrary Spring is come! In January, in Minnesota of all places! Well, almost….


Though we are still buried in mounds of white and we are supposed to be resting from garden work, some of us have an unresting green thumb that refuses to be stifled. Perhaps we come from equatorial descent… Whatever the case there are certain places in the dry warmth of winter where dwelleth a perpetual Spring, (i.e. wherever there is a south-facing window). We have an experiment with gourd seeds some of which were harvested from a hybrid plant and germinated at 72%, we have a rare greens garden, several other test plots for germination percentages, a forest of chives and various other long season perennial herbs getting a “head start”. Really, they need a head start.  :o)
