Seedlings are ready but the soil is not

1000's of seedlings sit, ready to just about jump into the ground themselves. The soil is too wet to work, and we fear planting seedlings into this over-saturated soil will only lead to stress on the plants and possible crop failure. We will wait in hope that this weekend will bring sunny/windy weather to dry the soil.



Loads of broccoli, kale, cauliflower, swiss chard, leeks, and onion plants ready to be planted

***Stay tuned for information about garden seedlings for sale at our early markets. We will have all of our heirloom tomatoes and favorite varieties of cucumbers, peppers, herbs, and greens for sale soon.***

Drying out

It seems the soil is really starting to dry out-finally. I even got a bit of tilling done today. We are somewhat behind where we would like to be with seeding but we have had to wait for the soil to dry before we could work it. We are patient as are the plants: the greenhouse is full of onions, leeks, chard, and kale that would love to go into the ground. It looks like we are in for a bit of colder/wet weather this weekend, so we are hoping for a few big seeding/transplanting days next week.
