Making due with what we got...
As summer approaches it doesn't even seem like spring yet. With mostly cold and rainy days, getting an early start on the season is a challenge to say the least. The greens and lettuce in the field are growing , but at a much slower than normal pace, the early sugar snaps in the green houses and in the field are looking pretty dang good, and the haricots vers in the hoop houses should be coming up soon (the first seeding rotted in the cool soil). The tomatoes and corn are a struggle in this cold weather. On a sunny day like today we have to take advantage, a crew of 18 people is here, compared to yesterdays crew of 3. It becomes even more apparent that time is growing shorter & shorter to finish up last minute projects before it hits the fan. Although the days have been cold and gloomy I am extremely optimistic about the entire season, including our early season produce. This time of year marks the beginning of the "official" growing season, and its time to see months of planning and hard work start to pay off.
