Fruits of Our Labor

I just wanted to show off some of the fruits of our greenhouse labor.  We’ve harvested and pickled about 10 cucumbers already, we’ve grown lots of salad mix, the garlic is growing well and we have about 10 tomatoes so far, with new seeds recently planted.  This is a very experimental year for us and we’ve learned quite a bit that will help us next year.  We’re very proud that everything is grown from seed, and we’ve been harvesting many of our own seeds for next season.  We’re also extremely proud that because of our seed starts and our greenhouse, we managed to avoid the blight that wiped out the cucumber and tomato crops at just about every local farm.  So here’s a peek at one vine tomato and one roma.DSC07372
