Spring at last!
Winter has hung on this year! Fields are only just beginning to bear off from all the snow we received. This isn’t stopping the constant growth of tender seedlings in the sunroom and seedling house though! The lush green is a joy to see especially with the backdrop or white snow steadily reseeding.

Seeds to Seedlings
The snow has melted at last and so it appears summer is around the corner! As the ground warms up, the weeks are becoming busier seeding flats of peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, lettuce, herbs and a variety of other vegetables. Since the nights are still cold, our unheated greenhouse offers no protection for the tender seedlings,…
