3,000 Plants and Counting........

That's right, we've gone a little greenhouse crazy and already have over 3,000 plants in the first 3 weeks! It's nothing less than amazing to watch everything sprout and thrive in there. We're now at the stage where we are transplanting planting from the 105 plug size to 48 plant trays. That's alot of transplanting! At this point we have kohlrabi (white and purple), beets, spinach, bok choi (red and green), mache (corn salad), cauliflower (orange, green, and white), kale (green and purple), lettuces of all kinds, cabbage, collards, leeks, onions, and I'm sure there's something I'm leaving out! If all continues to go well, we should be expecting our first harvests around the third or fourth week of March.

Now, for those of you who have purchased our eggs in the past, our newest hens have started to lay and we have eggs galore! We are gathering about a dozen a day. Even in our off season MB does sell his eggs to help with his feed cost. Just let me know if you'd like to purchase a dozen or two ($4 a dozen) and we can arrange a pickup time.

How many omlettes can one family eat?   

"Okay sissy, this is how you very delicately wash the eggs."


This is no optical illusion, pretty sure this is our first double yolk egg.
