Welcome Sun and real cold--coming soups.

Good Morning,
Well today is a planning/paperwork day. Looking like a large amount of unexpected sunshine. This is very welcome in the greenhouses. The temp in them should hit 65-70 F degrees today even with an outside windchill approaching -4 F !  A great opportunity to water the spinach and help it get a jump start.
Soups coming for the weekend are looking to be a wicked rich cream of mushroom and a hearty vegan black bean chili.  Not sure what's going to Red Hen yet.  Here's a look at my spinach house from Feb. 4th.

Tues. Soups coming together

At the Coop in Montpelier there will be Cream of Potato with Roasted Garlic and a Barley Corn, Carrot (pun intended- where is John when you need him?) At Red Hen there will also be an Italian Sausage w/ tomato, basil, sweet peppers. Cold weather coming back this week but the greenhouses are looking very good. Need to seed some flats this week.

Post market wrap up......Feb. 5th

Well a big apology to those of you who came out and the spinach and salad were already sold out. Things are going really fast this time of year. The good news is that by next market the greenhouses should be going full tilt and I will have plenty of salad and spinach. I appreciate all the compliments, it validates all the hard work. Thanks Joe
