New high tunnel

Happy spring…almost! It’s been a cold March, but the high tunnel is up, covered and ready to go. We’ve managed to get some cold weather crops in the ground – spinach, lettuce and mixed greens, peas, beans and pac choi – and are working to get our processes (irrigation, ventilation) tightened up. Thanks to the new high tunnel, which is 30′ x 72′, we’ve gotten our earliest start ever. Plants in the ground and, for the most part, they are looking good! Here are a few photos.

Much of March looked like this

      Hi Alanna,
      We are actually at the Frostville Farmer’s Market this season. We didn’t hear about Lakewood until later in the spring and had to make a choice on a market. I hope you can make it to Frostville to visit us there! Markets have already started.
      Be well,
      Annabel
