Well, another year is upon us and we are still kicking! It's been a while since I posted any news but will try to do better this year. Here's to a safe and healthy new year.




This year we are trying a new product - Tumbling Tomatoes. They are bred to grow in hanging baskets, cascading down with lots of sweet cherry tomatoes. Here is a picture of the transplants growing in the basement and getting ready for transplanting into baskets in about 3-4 weeks.

I plan to hang the baskets on a new display rack made out of PVC. The idea is roll it in and out of the basement until it is warm enough to handle the outside temps.

I have a few rows of carrots that are over wintering in the tunnel. They are about 6 inches long and growing slowly. I plan to harvest them in March when I plant my tomatoes.

You can just make out the last of the cabbage planted outside the tunnel. Soon they will be history. The collards next to them are hibernating I think. They look good. Maybe we'll have early season collards again this year.

Well, that's it for now.
