January 28
This week I seeded all the cold crops that will be transplanted into what is currently the spinach house. Today i plan to seed all the tomatoes followed by the peppers that will be planted in the new greenhouse. Having more than one indoor growing space is so nice! Until now, with only one greenhouse, we would always choose to get a head start on our summer crops while missing out on the income early spring crops could provide.
The greenhouse is already showing signs of the change of seasons ahead. If you look into the centre of most plants you will see the flower bud forming. I look forward to all of you getting some of these soon! Usually at this time of year we no longer have a CSA going and i always wish that our members would have also experienced this yummy part of the year.
As mentioned last week, we will be pausing to allow things to grow a little. Therefore we will not be at the market or preparing CSA baskets next week. There are 4 more baskets in the winter program.
In your baskets this week:
Chez Nous Salad Mix
Napa
Spinach (sorry it got a little damaged when washing)
Carrots
Leeks
Xtra greens: Mustard Greens and Kale

| Always so nice to look at. Something about continually harvesting the outer leaves prevents the Napa from forming the compact closed head. You can notice the lighter and smoother inner leaves, this Napa will start to form it's flower bud soon. |

| This frizzy green is called Golden Frills Mustard. |

| Tag teaming the spinach before the lights go out. Days are getting noticeably longer though!
Thanks and well be in touch soon!
