And I have to thank my work shares for helping get it all up and running. Thank you!
The hoop house is really rocking this year. Since building it in the fall of 2010, and growing in it for one season, I think I'm finally feeling comfortable knowing what the heck I'm doing in it. The spinach is growing like crazy and will be featured on the Swasey Elementary menu this week. The head lettuce is growing great and will be ready to harvest in the next week or so. In the mean time, I've planted the Lola tomatoes amongst the lettuce and the Shintokiwa cucumbers are transplanted. The first of the trellis lines are hung, and waiting for the plants to grow up them. Next up, the Charantais Melons will be transplanted (they've grown a bit slow during the overcast days in the greenhouse), and the ginger, peppers and eggplants will be planted once the spinach is done doing it's thing.
