ASPARAGUS PICKING AT PORTER’S PATCH, NAVARINO, WI

Good Day from Porter’s Patch.

  Asparagus picking will only last for about 2 more weeks, so if you need some Fresh, Tender Asparagus, call today to place an order and stop out at the Farm Store for a visit.

Strawberries are looking super, most fields are at full blossom with the bee’s busy pollinating.  We anticipate an early  Strawberry opening  for picking if our warm weather stays around,  possibly around June  8th to the 15th.

All the new plantings of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries are growing well.  They like the warm spring weather.  The corn maze and colored corn was planted this last week, a little rain will help them sprout.  The pumpkins, squash, pickling cucumbers, and  gourds will be planted this upcoming week.

Our early raspberries have started to blossom, so the raspberry picking season could also be early this year.

SEE YOU SOON AT PORTER’S PATCH

Hello from Porter’s Patch in Navarino, Wisconsin

Asparagus season is almost here.  Warm days and nights will help it grow in northeast Wisconsin and we can get caught up on our orders.  Unfortunately we will still have some cool days and nights and the Asparagus does not like to grow in that weather and we get backed up on our orders because there is none to be picked.  Call Porter’s Patch at 715-758-8162  as we are talking pre-picked orders now for the upcoming season.

The Strawberries are all uncovered from the straw mulch that helps protect them from our harsh Wisconsin winters.  The straw mulch is now placed in the isles of the rows which helps keeps the weeds down and provides a nice walk way for the u-pick pickers and a place to kneel.  A lot of new growth can be seen as you look down the rows, which is always a good sight.  All the irrigation pipes are set up and ready to go  as soon buds then blossoms will appear and those need to be protected with overhead irrigation from frosty nights in Wisconsin. 

Raspberries look to be in good shape with a lot of new growth.  Unfortunately it looks like I lost a whole row of my purple Royalty variety due to winter damage. 

All the new Strawberry, Raspberry and Blueberry plants are to be delivered Wednesday April 21st,  so it will be a busy rest of the week getting everything planted.

Pumpkins, pickling cucumbers and Squash seeds will not be planted till about the end of May.

See you soon at Porter’s Patch

U-PICK FARM NEWS FROM PORTER’S PATCH

The warmer weather here in Northeast Wisconsin has taken care of the snow and allowed us to get in the fields already.  We finished trimming the summer raspberries last week and mowed all the fall raspberries.  We also were able to mow the asparagus and will have to wait about another five weeks to start picking.  The strawberries will stay covered with straw mulch for another two or three weeks yet.  All new strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry plants should arrive in about three weeks and we can start to plant with the help from mother nature.  See you soon at Porter’s Patch.

Hello to Northeast Wisconsin from Porter’s Patch

Been busy going through all the equipment and getting it all set for the upcoming  spring.  With the nice weather and less snow on the ground, some deer have been visiting the strawberries and raspberries plants, but not much damage, the dogs do a good job of keeping them off the fields for the most part.  The deer do not bother the asparagus plants and they are eating some of the left over pumpkins that did not get picked last fall, which is ok.  No blueberries planted yet, but I know the deer like them too.  Porter’s Patch is starting to accept application for this coming  picking season of our fruits and vegetables.  Please call or e-mail for further info.  Great experience on the farm for high school or  junior high school age.

Please pass onto  friends or family who enjoys the family fun farm experience.
