The Ontario February melt always does occur, but this year it seems to be a rather long spell. For Maryhill Organic this only means warmer greenhouses, and earlier crops!
We can always tell when February has arrived. The Sun returns! We need to open our greenhouses and uncover the crops from their frost cover, and we have started to irrigate as on a nice sunny day our greenhouses can reach over 20c even when the outside temperature maybe below 0. Our Arugula is making the best […]
Wait. February? Time keeps moving and with it comes the long missed SUN! The weather forecast today will bring a smile to our little spinach and lettuce plants and they struggle for every golden ray.

So far this fall we have managed to pick on nice Sunny days, and it looks like this week we may luck out again and have a few nice days to harvest. Hopefully this trend continues. This week we have a lot more of the same items as we transition into the cold weather, we […]
