April photo - honest! |
Why are the doors on the side? |
Here is view of one of the two doors from the inside during the first week in April
MELT! |
There is noticeable snow melt, however.
Will they come back? Wait and see |
The single digit low temperatures during March meant the green houses cooled down, and even with fiber protection we had some damage and loss - a first. Ken is waiting to see if these red cabbage come back from the roots
Filling in where he lost a plant |
But Ken has been transplanting, and watering and covering things inside the greenhouses.
Ken inside, Oscar out side |
And as Ken works transplanting, Oscar stays busy - he patrols for rabbits, squirrels, and other varmints.
Ken moving fiber to get at plants so he can water |
Now this week things are really starting to grow.
Direct seeded plants coming up! |
It is an exciting time of year.
Ken offering to tie up the containers so I can take more than two |
Sled with transplant trays and water containers |
I returned with four of the five gallon containers filled - whew. I am out of shape and it was a workout! I will really appreciate the irrigation pond once it thaws.
