The 2013 season has started!!!

Last wednesday we replaced the plastic on our small greenhouse.  It was one of those things that should have been done two or three years ago but never got done.  There just seems to be so much to do!!
 




80 Trays and Counting!!


We are starting out own sweet potato slips this year.  We bought Certified Organic sweet potatoes in Fredericton.  We were going to eat them but thought trying to grow our own slips would be better.   I think I may have started them too early.  They did not sprout at all until we put heat mats under them.  Each potato has an average of 15 slips each.  As the slips get to 4 inches tall I cut them off and root them in water.  When they grow roots I have been putting them in pots.  We are hoping for the best.
