Spring is springing in the greenhouse

King Richard leeks started popping up Monday morning. Pretty soon the inside of the greenhouse will actually be green!

The first couple of weeks in the greenhouse we are busy seeding alliums (onions and leeks), which all have the same tiny black seeds. It can be tedious work, but it's well worth it when you see the green shoots popping up from the trays a week later. Thanks to all the volunteers who showed up Monday morning to seed all 124 trays of our yellow storage onions. This coming Monday we might be seeding red onions, shallots and flowers, as well as hopefully admiring the fruits of our labor from the past 2 weeks.
