Setting up the plant table, heat mats and lights


The farm stand is open today (Saturday January 29) from noon till 5 pm. Come to us for a selection of the normal winter veggies and bulk foods. We have lots of freshly dried apples made from our homegrown organic heirloom apples. Take a look a the list below.
It is so cold now, however spring is expected in about 10-12 weeks from now. Today we are planning to set up the plant table, heat mats and lights in the living room to start tomatoes, kale, and early lettuce for setting out in the solar greenhouse in March. In about 4 weeks it is time to seed 70,000 onion seeds and start heating a greenhouse. We do not heat the greenhouse early on when the plants are few enough to fit in the house under lights. February still has the potential to be very cold. Enjoy the wonders of winter now as the seasons move on quickly and surely. Daniel
