Catching up on what has been going on at Home Farm Herbery
Tonight we went to the Hart County Farmer’s Market meeting at the county extension office and we joined hoping that our Home Farm Herbery will be able to do something.
As soon as the weather breaks Carl will start building the new waist high planters. Heading into our 80?s requires less bending and higher planters.a
I will need to start cleaning out the green house in a few days and get ready to start the seeds for seedlings at the end of this month.

It was a mild, but overcast day today. Gloria came and cleaned out the green house. All the lumber came today for 4 new waist high 8 ft x 3 ft. planters and Ken and I went to E-Town to pick up 30 bales of straw.
Feb. 20th to Feb. 22, 2012
Carl has gotten the heat lamps and beds in the green house up and running again. All the heirloom seeds have been coming in. The weather has been extremely mild and their are all kinds of bulbs popping up ahead of time and I hope they do not get zapped. I have been painting new plant stakes in my studio.

I awoke to a thin layer of ice on the little garden ponds. I checked the greenhouse as we had to put on the heat lights last night and everything in the closed beds was at 72 degrees so I was able to shut the lights off and open the big beds. I worked in the greenhouse for about 4 hours after breakfast. I potted 4 different kinds of peppers and 5 different kinds of tomatoes. I potted the stevia, several herbs and once it warmed up outside I got in a couple of rows of iceberg lettuce, a couple of rows of French breakfast radishes and a couple of rows of Paris market carrots in one of the waist high beds.
