This is spring???!! After this week's snow/ice combo hit us, we took a look inside the hoophouse and saw just how dark it is inside when snow & ice covers the roof. Not a pretty picture. Besides that, it's cold!
Before winter returned this week, we had picked and sold several batches of spinach, now under insulating covers. But this cold has slowed everything down some. Including the little starts of lettuce, swiss chard and baby spinach that we had planted over the past several weeks. Our hope was to harvest in earnest beginning April 1st, but this cold March will put that off a few weeks.
Patience everyone....spring will come. It's in the forecast.
