Greenhouse Progress March 18th, part 2.........






Beginning top to bottom with pics: first one shows the 'green' progress compared to last week! Then a baby red leaf lettuce. I believe this is the variety 'Sangria', the awesome red butterhead! Next one of my heirloom tomatoes, then herbs. I grew more herbs this year than last. This year I will have available: Parsley, Cilantro, Margoram, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme, Tarragon and Stevia. Last is a baby Basil! One of my more favourite plants to grow, as these tiny leaves have the basil aroma already! Just like rubbing a baby tomato plant to get that awesome tomato smell!!

Our front field 101 is split in two sections.  We've planted early items such as peas, kale, lettuces, cabbage and sweet onions. These are bare ground transplants, (except for the peas that were direct seeded) and are thriving nicely.  Green kale is already being plucked and lettuces start coming off this week.  Yes, the fields are clean.  Ben has one word for that: wages. We have booked/logged many many hours of cultivating, hand weeding and hoeing and investing in paying wages to have such clean fields.  Our men have the time right now - we are only harvesting a small amount from the greenhouses, therefore the majority of all days can be spent on ma...
