Winter Storm Warning Fresh Soups!! Vt Grown and Made!

Hi,
Heading out the door to deliver fresh soups to Hunger Mtn Coop and Red Hen. Having some fun and made a Cream of "Loaded Baked Potato" yup it has all the goodies in it. The other soup is a Jacobs Cattle Bean Minestroni. Plenty of tomato and basil in it and the beans have great flavor they are an old heirloom.

Spinach harvesting starts this weekend, the heat and sun of this week have really moved it along. The salad house is still a bit behind but getting there.

Sun just keeps coming, chickens just keep laying

As long as I can make it through the very cold mudroom and into the greenhouse I can spend the whole day in the greenhouse. Sunny and 80 degrees in there. Seeded radishes, salad turnips, and some new greens. Weeding in Feb. is something I am still trying to get used to. Easier now than in June though. Thinking about a cream of baked potato soup for Friday. Not sure what the other one will be yet.

Summer in the greenhouses! woohoo!

Well what a day. Just collected 21lbs of salad mix in the greenhouse. It was 85 degrees in there! Meanwhile outside it was 21 degrees. Ahh feels good to be workin the dirt in a tshirt!   Peeps are doing very well. I have only lost 4 so far. Spinach house is lookin great. A fair amount of loss in the lettuce house. Need to get replacements goin and start resetting some of the beds.
