For the Spring Sharers, the Hoophouse was 100 degrees yesterday and the soil was 80 degrees—warm enough to germinate the seeds planted. The Farmer said he saw some spinach coming up! We have the rows covered with Agribon. The lettuces and brassicas growing under the daylight bulbs in the livingroom are now getting their second set of leaves. Plant date in the hoop is April. The broccoli is Blue Wind, a 49 day variety. This week we will plant the Gourmet Baby Leaf Mix for harvest the first week in May. Next week it will be the carrots, Blue kale, and radishes.
