the season is underway

 Although life has gotten in the way of writing posts lately, a lot has been happening in the last couple months. The hoophouses are exploding with spring greens, spinach, chard, kale, some which was planted last summer and some transplanted or direct seeded in late winter. The leeks overwintered beautifully and have made for great potato-leek soup with the dwindling root cellar spuds. We’ve started the first of the outdoor plantings, with the help of our new four row seeder to speed up the planting of the many successions we plant of tiny seeds like carrots, lettuce, radishes and greens. Another new tool is our soil block maker, which allows us to start transplants without using plastic containers.
