Greenhouse adventures, and time to say Hello!

Posted on January 18th, 2019 by Heather Coffey

Are any of our winter veggies stumping you? There's always a few recipes at the bottom of your e-mail, but there's lots more tucked away in our memories. Have your question ready when we knock on the door, or if you're picking up at PEFAC Jan 23rd, say hi to Heather between 4 and 5pm. If you miss us, not to worry - just send along an e-mail and I'll be happy to help you out heather@fiddlehead-farm.ca

In other exciting news, we got some greens planted over the new year - in theory for our March shares. The greenhouse thermometer was telling me we had the temperatures to germinate the seeds and with the return of longer days we were really hopeful. The seeds haven't germinated yet though... so we'll see. We picked Arugula, Mustards and Radishes are the quickest ones to grow. It can get up to 20°C in there on sunny days despite the cold outside, and the plants can (in theory) bounce back from freezing overnight. It's a trial for sure, hoping that the cold, sunlight, and watering we can do will help them flourish, but we'll have to wait and see ;)
