Big Greenhouse=Big Work


  Bay one of five being prepared for spring planting.  This will be the first year that this greenhouse will be used for season extension.  There is alot of prep work to be done to each bay before it can be seeded.  We broadfork not till our greenhouses.  It means more physical labour but the soil improvement is great.  After broadforking we pick sods and rocks,  string off the beds, ammend the beds, rake off the beds and then seed the beds and water the seeds in.  It took three of us to completely finish one bay yesterday.  We will start transplanting this weekend and put mini-hoops over the transplants to give extra protection from the cold nights.
