A couple trays of Winter Density and Winter Wonderland romaine lettuces are getting ready to be transplanted into the hoop house. These will be some early harvested lettuces before the tomatoes, cucumbers and melons take over for the summer.
The greenhouse has been swept clean of cobwebs, old leaves, a mouse nest and a weird petrified baby snapping turtle (I don't know how that got in there). The Cortland, Dakota Tears, and Red Wing onions are seeded and sprouting! The Cipollini's, Shallots, Scallions and Leeks are warm in their new seed trays too.

The best thing about starting this year, is most of the initial set up for the farm is finally done! It's so nice to jump into a routine now that it's the farm's second year. The only big new thing that will be added this year will be an irrigation system, again with the help of NRCS. We have been officially approved after multiple visits to the farm and communications back and forth. I will keep you updated as we move forward with the process.
