A small load of seed potatoes just delivered off a very large truck! 350lbs of Norland, Yukon Gold, Gold Rush, Purple Chief. (The boxes holding the bags are from Holland, not the potatoes.)
Spring
It’s all about the rain…
The jumbo rain gauge is something to keep an eye on. Once in a while, that little red disc floats upwards, and then, you’re looking for the magic 25 (millimeters, that is, a nice inch of rain).
Lettuce progresses
Still waiting for a few super early lettuce to get over being transplanted and start to do their thing. Rapid, lush and leafy growth is all that is expected…
Global as gas
Red plastic gas cans connect the Tiny Farm to the global economy! Some for gas and some for diesel, take care not to mix ’em up.
Red sun at night
This means nice weather tomorrow… Guaranteed!! At least, quite likely! Well, we’ll see…
Hundreds of seedlings
Some of over a thousand little tomatoes, eggplant and peppers living it up, warm, well-watered and basking under the fluorescent light, in the comfort of the seedling room. Fluorescents as a plant light source don’t hold a candle to the Sun, but in the cold of early Spring, they do the trick.
