The Garden's Transition from Winter to Spring

Wednesday was a big day! Thanks to good friends that were willing to lend a hand, here is the farm & garden update:

Left- collard greens, Top- brussel sprout tops, Right- carrots,
Bottom middle- brussel sprouts (turnips and kale not pictured)
  • Rose bush pruned to a manageable size, which is very exciting
  • Last season's herbs pruned to the ground (they will come up again soon)
  • The 2nd greenhouse was constructed 
  • Both greenhouses are now securely anchored in the ground in their new location for the season
  • The extension of the garden was prepared, mowing the grass down and covering with clear plastic to kill the grass
  • Bought peat moss for seed starting and crimson clover seed for the future cover crop, 5 lbs of seed!
  • Mixed potting media, peat moss and worm castings, from my own vermicompost. Thanks to mother for keeping the composting bin in the kitchen all this time!
  • The garden rows were weeded with the last of the winter crop removed (featured above) 
  • Prepared the garden for the spring crop. No seeds in the garden yet, due to the uncanny threat of snow this weekend. 

Up next: the first round of seeds in the greenhouse, now called "Seeds (Round One)"

Then He said to His talmidim/disciples, The harvest truly is great, but the workers are few.
Make tefillah/prayer therefore to the Master of the harvest, that He will send forth workers into His harvest.  Mattituahu/Matthew 9:37-38

Best Regards,
