Tiny Farm Experience (Strawing the Strawberries)

Tiny Farm Experience is a great site that is following several Canadian farms over the course of 52 weeks. This is going to be a fun year of learning and exploration from across Canada. Check out Lynn and the other farms at www.tinyfarmexperience.com.

Last week, while I was still in Toronto cooing and cuddling my new little niece, Steve and our good friend Maya were finishing up the last of the farm tasks for now: covering the strawberries with a nice layer of straw mulch. The newly transplanted strawberry plants need protecting over the winter, and a 4-inch layer of straw will do the trick.

Maya is eager to learn more about growing food on a market garden and I am eager to have her on board this growing season. She will be around to learn all the different growing techniques and procedures I have learned, and will learn along the way. I am excited to have her around for help.
