We had a great group of volunteers in the greenhouse Monday helping us to seed our first leeks and onions of the year. With their help, we seeded our entire leek planting as well as a significant chunk of our Ailsa Craig onions for a total of 115 trays of seedlings! By next Monday we should see some green shoots poking out of those trays. Even if the ground is still covered in snow, it will begin to feel like spring in the greenhouse very soon. Next week we will continue seeding onions and perhaps our first fennel and lettuce plantings as well. If you're curious about what goes on at the farm in the spring (or want to escape the chill winter air), stop by and seed a few trays with us. We meet in the greenhouse every Monday 9am - noon. Questions? Email Ryan at rwood@ttor.org.Tuesday, March 4, 2014
