Our seedling greenhouse is two-thirds full, and already,
the seeds planted recently are starting to sprout.
Onions, leeks, peppers, eggplants, lettuces, herbs, cruciferous vegetables – each grows at its own pace. Some will not appear for another twenty days or so (such as parsley or lovage), while others, much more impatient, are already reaching for the light. Regardless of their speed of germination, as long as it is successful, that is all that really matters…
However, it is still quite chilly and rather gray, and our furnaces are running at full capacity.
In the seedling greenhouse, where everything is controlled, your market gardener is not bothered by the weather, but in the fields, it is a different story: scattered showers, cold and waterlogged soil – even our garlic, which sprouted a while ago, is at a standstill. But we know that full-on spring is right around the corner, all it will take is a slight increase in temperature and a few sunny days to bring everything (microbial) back to life. We can’t wait!
Registration is ongoing, we have reached 50% of our goal
as of early April.
In order to properly plan the season, thought, we appreciate early sign-ups and encourage you not to wait too long to register. Don’t forget to check out the organic sourdough bread offering from our neighbours at Capitaine Levain, here in Stanbridge East.
We look forward to seeing you all this summer.
