Iris blooming

The iris bulbs that the Colorado branch gifted us last year are blooming. One reason the iris is interesting is the design; side pedals are used as landing pads for pollinating insects.

Brooklyn Farm: Colorado Branch

Farmer no. 1's mother is the original green thumb. 12 foot sunflowers in the high altitude of Colorado Springs (6,000 feet above sea level). It is more challenging to grow in higher altitudes because the temperatures are cooler and the growing season is shorter. The altitude in Brooklyn is around 100 ft above sea level, and our crops are a month ahead of Colorado crops. But we definitely don't have sunflowers like these...nice work!

Cucumbers fly coach to Colorado

Cucumber seedlings that we planted a few weeks ago made the journey to Colorado. We have farmers taking care of them in Colorado Springs who will keep us updated on their progress.
