March 1, not yet spring

Here we are at March first. The day might be full of bright sunshine but the temperature has not gotten above freezing. Nor has it for the last three days, nor tomorrow. Hopefully by Wednesday we will be above freezing. Fingers crossed. I have found some daffodils up against the house foundation, facing south. Looks as though we have a ways to go yet.

Meanwhile, inside, the third batch of ranunculus have been soaked and are sprouting. Look closely and you will see little bits of green

These will stay inside for another day or two then will be planted out into the low tunnel that will be inside the high tunnel. Even though they need to be grown cool, our nights are still too cold so I am going to play it safe. This will also be our first adventure on constructing a low tunnel. This will be interesting. Stay tuned.

We are fine tuning our bouquet subscription and farm gate sales details and hope to have the details out by mid March. Oh all of this is just so exciting. ‘Til next time.
