Great Little Greenhouse to Harden Off Seedlings

The short-lived snow storm that passed through the farm yesterday reminded us that winter is still with us.  We are so fortunate to have our little 10 x 8 foot glass B. C. Greenhouse in which to

complete the seedling cycle-plants such as radishes and onions, seeded into 2 inch soil blocks and

pacs are hardening-off with a little help from a propane heater which keeps the temperature well above freezing.  Our "Royce Royce" germination bench is chock-a-block full with artichoke

seedlings, Swiss chard and lettuces all sitting so green under the lights.  We are gearing up for

our Giant Plant Sale that will take place on Saturday, May 2. 11-5 pm at Haliburton Farm.  Late seed orders came to the door yesterday from Wm. Dam and Two Wings Farm (a favorite for their great quality tomato seeds) so we will have a large variety of heirloom tomato plants for sale as well as a large variety of vegetable and herb seedlings.
