Cover Crop

Here is a picture of the cover crops growing on our permanent raised beds. The winter rye and hairy vetch add nutrients and organic matter to our soil.

Seed Potatoes

Pictured here is a crate of seed potatoes that have been cut and are ready to go to the field for planting.

Planting Potatoes

Rick, Eric and Rich have planted nine different varieties of potatoes for the 2009 season.

Germination Chamber

This year, we have constructed a germination chamber in a section of our greenhouse. We start transplants that require higher germination temperatures on heat mats in this mini hothouse.

Young Seedlings

Pictured are early stage lettuce and brassica transplants.

Mature Transplants

So far this year, we have started 53,000 transplants in the greenhouse including the broccoli, Chinese cabbage, greens and onions shown here.

Garlic

This season's garlic was planted in December and has emerged very nicely this spring.

Cold Frames

We use cold frames to "harden off" seedlings prior ro transplanting to the field.
