ready, set... GO!
Well, I have yet to feel hot sand between my toes and February is darn near over. I think Mexico will have to wait until Spring break. So... in the meantime we will get in as many seedings as possible of Sugar Snaps and Shelling Peas to feed the voracious appetite of all our market patrons. They are still being seeded under coldframes as the soil and outside temperature are just too cold. We just seeded our first corn in plug trays and will be very cozy in our 70 degree germination chamber. We seeded the corn three weeks earlier this year in an attempt to bring you corn for the fourth of July. We were three weeks late last year, so we will see what happens this year. Broccoli is sprouting as is the Cauliflower. There is well over 250,000 lettuce starts filling our propagation houses and we are adding another 60,000 every week. We better start transplanting outside soon or we will run out of room in our greenhouses! As soon as the weather breaks and we can get into the field, we will put in the first carrots, radishes, turnips, spinach and other assorted greens.
Today, we have a nice, big mobile office being delivered to the farm to accomodate our ever expanding office needs and to provide all of our office workers a comfortable environment to work in. They really deserve it... they are generally "behind the scenes" and often do not get the attention or appreciation they deserve. So, hats off to them... they all have done an amazing job in helping create a dynamic, thriving farm enterprise. Gotta go... it's moving day.
