Greenhouse Magic

Here are just a few pictures to show the progress of everything in the greenhouse by Mid-March.  If this warm weather keeps up, we may be transplanting before we know it.  But all in good time, these little babies are still delicate and will get much bigger before they actually get their bottoms planted into the ground.

Cabbage:

Onions, after their tops were trimmed for the first time:

Broccoli:

Tomatoes, that will later be grafted onto the rootstock.

This is the farm.  Quiet. Serene. But not for long....

February chills

This week started off with a beautifully sunny and warm February Monday, the greenhouse was a balmy 70 degrees and felt oh so good on the skin after months of winter's chill.  Then, the rest of the week went back to a normal dreary, cloudy, cold,  and rainy winter.  But that didn't really matter much and I didn't let it get me the least bit down because I got to spend everyday of this past week in the greenhouse seeding ONIONS!!! And leaks and scallions!  The sweet and earthy smell of the greenhouse comes as a beautiful relief to winter's stale freeze.


The winter months can drag on and on- especially when we don't get any snow.  I love a little snow storm in the winter, to get snowed in, watch movies, go for a walk, and get cozy. The clouds can't seem to part to let in the tiniest amount of sunlight.  It has been a mild winter, but at this point, all I really want is spring.

February seeding: onions, leeks, and scallions.

A delicious way to wake up after a session of yoga.  There is nothing better than fresh juiced juice!  This morning I whipped up... carrot, celery, ginger, apple, pineapple, parsley, beet, and broccoli stalks.  Really, just whatever fruits and vegetables I can find in the ice box.  It's just so so good.
