First Seedlings of the Year!!!!!!!

     Well, the first seeds of the year have germinated.....a few Beefsteak tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce mix, and Roma tomatoes.  The weather has been causing a lot of problems so far....very cold temps!  My small heaters can't keep up and the seeds are very slow to germinate.  Tonight's low is going to be 19 and 20 for tomorrow night.

     Today, the greenhouse had to endure 30 to 35 mile an hour gusts and it took a beating but made it through.  I'm glad I used the 1" pvc instead of 3/4! 

     Buy your fresh veggies from farmers that are Certified Naturally Grown!!!!.......Greg

 

 
 

The First Seeds of the Season

     We finally started our first seeds of the year......just over 1000 seeds so far!  Here's a list of the seeds:

   Tomato - Beefsteak, Matt's Wild Cherry, and  Roma

   Peppers - Calif. Wonder, Purple Beauty, Golden Calif. Wonder, Cayenne, and Hungerian Hot Wax

     Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Eggplant       

     We still have a lot of other seeds to start but I will need to mix up some more organic potting mix.  We'll let you know how everything is progressing........Greg              

 
 

Certified Naturally Grown

     Well, we have been accepted into "Certified Naturally Grown"!!!  I don't know if I'll bother getting "Certified Organic".  I like CNG's tougher standards! 

     The greenhouse is far enough along that tomorrow, I'll be able to start the first seeds of the year......It's about time!!!!!

 
 

It's about Time!

     Finally!!!!  It's time to plant the seeds to get our seedlings started in the greenhouse.  Stay tuned to see the list of veggie seedlings!

Starting on a Small Greenhouse

     We started on a small 12X16 PVC greenhouse this week and should be finished in a day or two, weather willing!  If you are interested in building a small inexpensive greenhouse/high tunnel, check out youtube and the net for the plans.  Mine Cost around $200 without the benches inside.  I'll try to post pics when it is finished.

     We will be start planting seeds within a week so that the seedlings will be ready mid-March.
