So close to having the new greenhouse addition ready. Benches are built, plastic is stretched, only the end wall plastic remains. We had a perfect 2 hours of calm yesterday to get the plastic on. Not 5 minutes after we were done the wind came up and it would have been impossible to do. The greenhouse gods were kind for sure. End wall will get done today and Robert is your Muvas Bruva. We had our 2 greenhouses packed to the brim last year and we are going even bigger this year so it had to be done. Can’t wait… We were contacted by a rep from Toyota today about buying some potted herbs for a Farm to Table event on the 23rd of April at the Capital City Public Market . It sounds pretty cool, they are pairing local chefs with local producers and giving away culinary herbs as part of the promotion. Sounds cool. Stay tuned for more info.

It was  80 degrees in the green house yesterday. Plants are popping and I’m ready for spring. Is it really only February?

Spring comes a little early around here. We are firing up the greenhouse, with all those wonderful herbs, onions, chives, spring greens, and early tomatoes. Its so nice to duck into a 70 degree greenhouse when its 30 outside. I have a hot water heating system made from a recycled water heater and some 1/2 in. tubing that circulates hot water at the plants root zone. It works awesome and keeps the soil of the plants nice and toasty. We are super excited to be into our 3rd year of production, and can’t wait for the Capital City Public Market to kick off in April. There are lots of plants to care for until then so stay tuned.

Check out these baby tomatoes, so cute. Those are Bull Blood Beets in the background for a killer micro greens mix.
