Greenhouse on!

We still have 3 feet of snow on the ground, and the weather over the next few days is supposed to be brutal -- very cold, very windy, very snowy. But we tend to be a glass-half-full bunch here at Old Shaw Farm, so to honor the first day of spring, we bring you a post about us turning on the first greenhouse this week!

This first picture is us cleaning out the greenhouse before we actually turned the heat on. I have a respirator on my head since I was sweeping out last year's dusty potting soil remnants from under our seedling benches. Waverly and Henry are doing a little clean-out-the-greenhouse dance.

Here is a shot after we turned the heat on, moved the tomato seedlings out of the basement, and have started filling the seedling benches with trays of seeds.

Mmmmmm . . . tomatoes!
