Overhead Irrigation!!!

Each bay of the large greenhouse now has overhead irrgation!!  It is a beautiful sound to hear the sprinklers doing all of that work instead of me.  All the crops have jumped in size since the installation.  (So have the weeds)  We are looking forward to a week of wet weather.  We will be using this time to catch up on greenhouse weeding, seeding trays and field planning for the upcoming season.  We are glad that we didn't give into temptation and start seeding outside yet. 

We will be starting at the Kingston Farmer's Market May 19th hope to see you there!!

Crazy Weather!!!

Transplants don't seen to mind the fluctuating temperatures.  We only heat if the temperature goes below -3C.  It will be nice to get the irrigation assembled this week!!!  Everything that has been sown is growing but so are the weeds!!! 

Being able to plow this early is crazy!!  This field was almost impossible to turn the first year we tried.  It has taken almost eleven years to get it to a condition where it will be able to handle vegetable production.  When we bought the farm this field was full of spruce trees, 6ft alders, hard hack and wild blueberries.

A big batch of freshly made potting mix.  Time to pot up the tomatoes and peppers.
