Greenery sprouting in the greenhouse!

Leeks and onions are already popping up in the greenhouse. It's refreshing to see some signs of spring at our snow-covered farm. This past Monday we had an excellent turnout for our Monday morning greenhouse volunteers. Together we seeded a total of 164 seedling trays! Not only did we finish seeding our Ailsa Craig and Pontiac (yellow storage) onions, but we also managed to seed our first fennel.

In addition to our regular March seeding projects, we seeded a small early lettuce planting that will hopefully be available in the Dairy Store before the CSA season begins. We're also planning some small earlier spring plantings of greens and pea tendrils as we explore extending our growing season a little longer. As part of that experimentation, last fall we put in a planting of Bridger onions and some scallions to overwinter. Hopefully those will be available before the CSA opens as well. Stay tuned this spring to find out when early veggies will be available in the Store!
