- Produce Bag March 28th
Spring is here, although it may not look like it this morning. This weekend we had another baby goat, we now have 3 healthy baby goats and one calf with more to come. Our first batch of chickens are in the barn, under a heat lamp chirping away splashing in the water then piling up on each other under the heat lamp.
We have been trying to pick and clean out the large greenhouse to make room for our tomato Transplants. When we built the new greenhouse we thought we would not have crop rotation issues, but since we plant every inch, rotation from one crop to the next is always a challenge. We also planted some early Peppers and Eggplant we will also try to find room to plant in the greenhouse as we transition to the cold frames and field. Hopefully these will produce earlier and also extend the season longer. Our goal of transplanting our tomatoes on April 15th has come and gone, but we are making progress and likely will get a few rows transplanted this week.- Produce Bag $40

March is here, and since we have more sunny days the greenhouses are really starting to grow. Our Lettuce Mix and Spinach will soon be a weekly regular in the produce bags.
The produce bag this week will have two new additions, Carrots and Cilantro! We had this idea that more greenhouse space would ease our crop rotation struggles, but if you have a spot to plant something, you do! So here we are, trying to get the tomatoes transplanted in 2 weeks and the greenhouse still full of veggies. We have 3 beds of 28 free, and our goal is to have 10 available in a few weeks for tomatoes and another 4 available end of March for Eggplant and Pepper and shortly after that another bed for cucumbers. We have a lot of picking to do!

Winter is so much nicer with some sun shining, or maybe it is the fact this morning is not -20 and rather enjoyable. Our first cold cold cold weather snap let us see how the Greenhouses managed, and we made it. We did get a little frost happening and had to finish installing and turn on the circulation fans as the temperature gradient dropped about 1c/ft leaving the ground around -1 and the thermostat at 5. The fans are doing a great job, and we expect things to be a little warmer at ground level. But with the return of the Sun, the greenhouse get up to 13-18 and we expect everything to once again start to grow a little quicker.
This week we will be picking more Lettuce, and it looks like the first week of February we will have Spinach and Lettuce Mix again. We have realized we need to plant a lot more Lettuce Mix and Spinach next fall!- Produce Bag $35
