With seed starting and getting the gardens ready, it has been busy! Nine flats of various seeds have been sown, and every week I will be starting a few more flats.
Low tunnels have been set up and lettuce, kale, swiss chard, and spinach are growing under the tunnels. With the weather so warm for the past two weeks, these crops are now uncovered and doing nicely.
The peas are growing, as are radish and carrot. There are 50 strawberry plants in the ground, and the potatoes have been planted in black bags. All this talk of food is making my mouth salivate for some fresh stuff! It can't come soon enough.
Getting ready to have some manure and compost trucked in on Monday. While I'm waiting for that, I am transplanting tomato, broccoli, and cauliflower into bigger containers that will eventually go in the ground. We bought two more rain barrels to use at the Tower Drive site, which will be put up as soon as the lean-to gets constructed and set up. We had to devise a way to make water available since there is no source in the middle of this farm field.
We are planning an Open House/Ground Breaking/Workday for the near future - more details will be posted as soon as they are finalized. Happy Easter!
