Busy day..cold outside but the greenhouses are warm and green! Our workers arrived today, so the next few days will be spent working hard at getting some crops in the ground!! Every day is Earth Day around here as we adhere to organic growing practices and respect our planet and the mega awesome mother - the soil! Our heirloom tomatoes are huge and ready to be planted!
