New Growing Season Update January


NEW Growing Season Update January

Spinach is growing and waiting for good weather to be planted out into the hoop-houses. Planted greens are waiting for sunny longer days. Seeds are ordered and many seeds are back ordered. Heaters are being installed, buildings are being cleaned and organized so when we get busy we can find what we need when we need it. It is now time to look at the biological insects to see what we need. Two years ago we lost one long row of kale due to the cabbage loopers, the butterflies may be pretty but the caterpillars are ferociously hunger for kale. Last year we released some microscopic wasps that loved eating their eggs and the damage was minimum. I love those tiny insects. They are the size of pin head and have an huge appetite for eggs.

Until Next Time
