Interested in a bulk garden flat of plants? Tomatoes and Peppers $1.50. Cucumbers $.50ea. Squash and Pumpkins $.75.
Flat must total 50 plants; can mix and match. Note for tomatoes and peppers: They are not big plants but the seedling size I put out in my own garden. They grow quicker and have less transplant shock than larger plants.
Contact the farm for varieties and to order. Orders must be in by Sunday the 12th. Picked up the first week of May.
I don't have service at the hoop houses but will respond to messages tonight when I get in. (I'll also post a list of varieties available tonight).

Feeling Spring yet? Here on the farm...
Current status- light snow
Expected next 3 days - 3-4" rain.
Saturday and Sunday- chance snow/rain.
Monday. 61°
Yep, that's Spring.
Weather chaos aside, my daffodils are blooming about 3 weeks ahead of schedule and they got snow on them this morning so winter could be done. Calendar says it is time to seed tomatoes, cold crops and a few flowers. Petunia, snaps, eucalyptus and dahlia seedlings are all ready to pot up. Hoping the sun is out every so often to keep the hoop house a bit warmer.
Next week it's time to pick up my tree orders and get them in the ground. Busy season is here. Check out the link for all the chores it's time to do in the garden.

March garden calendar We suggest using March to plan out your vegetable garden for summer harvest and to get your lawn off to a solid start for the season. There are even some vegetables that can be planted once the soil reaches 40° F. Learn more in this guide.

It's feeling like Spring. My daphne is in full bloom already, while I love the smell, it shouldn't be blooming for another 3 weeks.
Daphne in bloom means it is time to get going out in the garden. this week I'll be sowing some sweet peas in my high hoops and starting a round of brassicas for an early planting.
Here is a link to some great info on what you should be doing in the garden right now.
