April Greenhouse and Wagons

peach blossoms in the greenhouse

We have a ton of stuff filling up the greenhouse and two wagons outside filled with onions, beets, kohlrabi, broccoli, cabbage, and parsley. That's how we get plants ready for the field...

We set them out on wagon to "toughen up"... if you will. Basically to get used to wind, rain, and a little less water.  But if the weather is going to be too bad we can still bring them inside. Safety first.

Even though we have a lot of larger plants at this point we still have tons of babies who are about to be moved from these plug trays to 6 packs. They'll live there for a few weeks and then off to the field. These below are future cut flowers.

Inside the greenhouse not only do I have plants but I have buckets of peach blossoms that I've been "forcing" for a treat at an upcoming Farmers' Market.  

I've had quite a few people ask what do you do with them?  

Well...you put them in a vase on your table and soak up the delicate beauty of deep red branches with little pink flowers. They last about 7 days after they start opening.

I have had numerous emails about herbs.  Can I grow more herbs. Herbs offered on the Buying Club. Well herbs you (my A+ customers) asked for and herbs you will have. I'm putting in an "herb garden."
