Field 1, March 19, 2013

It's hard to believe that this time last year I was outside seeding beets and carrots in a t-shirt! This is a good reminder that every season is unique. What does this cold and snowy March mean for this season's prospects? Probably not much in the long-term, but in the short-term it means that we'll have to wait for the snow to melt and the ground to dry out quite a bit before we can get out in the fields with a tractor. This will likely push back the first beet, carrot and sugar snap pea seedings a couple of weeks, but as long as it warms up in April, these crops could be ready in the shareroom and pick-your-own fields only slightly behind schedule. In the meantime, we're busy seeding away in the greenhouse. Yesterday's volunteers seeded 60 trays of Redwing onions, 21 trays of parsley and 25 trays of shallots. I'm looking forward to some sunny warm(er) days soon so that we can begin to be as productive out in the fields as we have been in the greenhouse!
