How nice has it been to have the sun back?!! We have been busy in the greenhouse planting transplants for this season-our tomatoes and peppers are up and we have a slew of greens transplants to go out next week in the heated tunnel. We start planting in our un-heated tunnels again at the end of the month. February rather than January always feels like the new year to me; we gain light, temperature and its when I start to get excited about the next season :)
In your bag this week:
Micro Arugula: crisp and peppery, these are great on sandwiches, as a salad or over your morning eggs! Store in your fridge.
Kale: This kale was planted back in september of 2019 and it has served us well. the color turns in the winter months to a beautiful purple that I can't stop taking pictures of. Store in your fridge.
