I wanted to share with you an email by Vicki from Genesis Growers, It makes me happy to think the winter might be coming to an end.........
We have transplanted the Napa cabbage and boc choi for spring into #4
hoop. The turnips are big enough for us to thin. The spinach has nice
leaves coming on (perhaps two more weeks till we can harvest). The
salad mix will be ready about that same time. How wonderful it is to
have spring in the hoops. An untended hoop is 6 weeks ahead in the
spring. So one can time the advent of spring by what the plants in the
hoops are doing. Last week was Groundhog's Day and Mr. Groundhog saw
his shadow. Six more weeks of winter. In # 2 house, the perennial
mints decided last week to peek up from the ground to greet the sun for
the first time since they went dormant. The moral to this story is
that my mint agrees with Mr. Groundhog - 6 more weeks of winter. We
are on the count down.
