What We Are Planting

We thought it would be fun to let you know what we have planted for the week as we go through this spring. This year has been colder than last year, but we have been planting. Our in ground hoop-houses have kale, radishes, arugula, bok choi and turnips up and growing. Outside, we have seeded carrots and more arugula. In trays to be transplanted later we have seeded parsley, cilantro, dill, and a lot of lettuce. We are waiting on our big soil shipment from Vermont Compost. Once that arrives, the list will expand exponentially.

In the meantime, we had enough soil to plant a new round of microgreens to go in the transplant hoop-house. This new microgreen planting is about two weeks out for you and allows us to offer you more variety. We will be adding to the variety each week for a while. Stay tuned. For flowers, we have started dianthus and lisianthus. Baby snapdragon plugs arrive this week. Things are about to get real!
