Planting bdanting
Jamie started back to work this week. It is nice to be with her. Greenhouse 1 is on and almost full of seedlings. Though seedlings may be too strong a word. Sprouts? Seeds in soil? Tomatoes in early next week.
I'm still trying to get used to the idea of no CSA, no Waitsfield market. Unsuspecting aquaintances ask me about the CSA and get an earful! But its nice to be out in the greenhouse, with my hands in the soil, and the spring sun and warm weather make it hard not to be hopeful.

It really looks like the middle of April around rather than the middle of March right now. It has been so warm that almost all the snow is gone where we are now. I keep thinking we are going to get one more big snowfall, but I woke up the other morning to the sound of rain on the tin roof, so maybe we are done with winter.
As you can see, Shelby likes the lack of snow. She was born in late fall, so this is her first go around with bare ground. Lots of new smells!
And so it begins
The first seedlings are planted. More flowers this year, to sell as seedlings. But as in years past, started in the basement, under lights, to postpone as long as possible heating the greenhouses.
Wavy and Henry (and Shelby) helping clean out one of the greenhouses to get it ready for tomatoes. Wavy's still in her pajamas at like 3:00 (!!) because it was one of the last days of school vacation.
