Seeing Green

The hoop house is a nice respite on blustery afternoons like we had today. The temp. in there is in the mid 80's, and when the sun is out, even warmer. Everywhere you look, it's green.





We're still waiting to get in the gardens, where a lot of this stuff in trays can be transplanted.

And the overflow outside.


Some will be for sale at the farm stand, like these hanging tomato baskets.




In the meantime, we offer fresh herbs


lettuces


and radish


at the farm stand, with spinach


and carrots


not far behind.

Somewhere in there are also cucumber plants, where the netting is


and the tomato plants are staked ready to grow. I think there are even peas in there, all intended to be early season.


I can not take credit for any of this. It is all the hard work and dedication of our mother, who has done this type of thing for as long as I can remember. All those years she did it to sustain her family, and now she does it to sustain yours. Thanks for your hard work Mom....& Happy Mother's Day a little early too.
