Seeding Frenzy!

Kiana in Greenhouse

Kiana my faithful helper was watching me plant our new beds in the greenhouse.  I havent worked with drip much and learned a lot from just these small beds of greens.  The baby spinach and salad mix have germinated nicely, only they only germinated in the circle around where the water comes out the drip.  Lesson learned...i need to hand water until germination.  It looks pretty cool though!

Production in the greenhouse is coming right along!  We are getting lots of vegetable seeds in the soil to start their long journey from seed to fruit.  It is always so amazing to me what grows from such a tiny, sometimes barley visible seed.  Or even the tomato seeds how that little fuzzy seed will produce so many pounds of food.  

One of my favorite times of the year is when plants start to germinate and there is just that bright green, fresh spring green carpet in the greenhouse.  It is also starting to green up outside.  Time to start preparing the fields, pruning the trees and berry bushes getting the herb beds cleaned out and ready for spring, and all the other tasks we can do now that the ground has thawed and the days are warming up.  I better get to work...
