We're Back!

Hello once again! I apologize for the long break in posts but as you may have guessed, not much has been happening with the farm. We are all very ready for the spring and can't wait for those first crops to pop up from the ground. We are a long way away from eating fresh tomatoes again but in the mean time we have been preparing. All of our seeds have arrived and we will be getting the basement ready for seeding in a few weeks. It's hard to believe that all of our hard work and produce of the season comes from such a small pile of seed envelopes!



The grow light shelves are currently packed with all of our empty trays just waiting to be filled in.  It is pretty cold in the basement now, but once we start our seeds, we will keep the heat on in the 60's to give the seeds that extra energy to get started and have the lights on for about 16 hours a day.  We have our potting soil and are eager to get going but have to be careful not to rush it because we don't want our seedlings to be ready to be transplanted before the ground is ready.

 

 

Here is a view of the garden today. I can't wait for the shades of brown to turn to green!
