Growing Our Food

It's a little strange to think that that tupperware holds all of our produce for this summer. In addition to what we plant in the fields, we plant a home garden for our own use. It's a good way to grow varieties that aren't very marketable (like cherry tomatoes which split easily so they're hard to transport) or crops that don't do well here (cauliflower and sweet potatoes). We have just recently started planting some of these in the greenhouse.


It's pretty fun to watch our first planting of greens come up! I can't wait for the salad that they will turn into a few weeks.


Whoever can correctly identify this seedling gets a gold star:
