things are moving a long nicely. it's still getting a little chilly some evenings so "most" of the little plants are still not in the ground. we're hoping to sell our extra seed starts and some propagated peach & pear trees at the first Farmers Market and should have lettuce for our restaurants in a couple weeks. the greenhouse is beginning structural upgrades to firm up the frame and deflect the wind better. planting in it has begun but progress is intentionally slow. we need to learn how to regulate wind an heat before we fill it with plants. we also need to sift a Lot of dirt into buckets and set up a logical system of watering. we've got a solar powered self watering device and a soaker hose, both will probably be used when we get it in full swing. for heat we have an industrial size fan but the inverter for the solar array died and we're waiting on it's replacement. special thanks to all the volunteers that rolled through and pitched in knowledge, tools and labor this spring. our future is much brighter for your efforts.

Looks like spring has finally arrived. Good luck with everything.

it's a big weekend of shoving plants in the ground and putting up extra bracing and wind protection on the greenhouse. our frost fears have turned to wind & heat fears.. I was recently reminded that "life is a bowl full of cherries that seem to taste a lot better after you take the Pits out." so, we're taking out the pits. ;~) Comments are closed.
