Spring Has Sprung

With spring officially here, we are grateful to be able to start our outdoor planting. Every day I see more and more bulbs coming up and this sunny day is a welcome break from the cold dreary days we've been having here in Cleveland. The basement is full of seedlings and this weekend we transplanted kale outside.





The garlic has pushed through the blanket of leaves and we look forward to another healthy crop. The garden is still pretty brown, but soon enough it will be green and abundant. The flower seeds have been started, as well as lettuce, kale, spinach and beets.  We are starting to move some flats outside during the day to give them some natural light and a breath of fresh air! They have to come in at night because it is still too cold for their tender leaves. 


Terry is tilling the whole garden to get the soil ready for planting. We sent off a soil sample and should get results this week to see if we need to add anything to our soil to balance all of the nutrients. 


The market will be here before we know it! Opening day is May 11th, right around the corner! We look forward to seeing you!
