The greenhouses are overflowing with plants! Come stroll through the warm, spring green of the greenhouse this weekend. We have onions, cabbage, broccoli and lettuce. Strawberries, tomatoes, peppers and melons. Catnip, lemon balm and echinacea. Nasturtiums, petunias and morning glories. Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. Just to name a few...
As we approach the first plant sale this coming weekend, we are getting creative as we make the most of every square inch of greenhouse real estate. I have built more benches to hold an abundance of plants and the aisles are getting narrower and narrower, but we’ll make sure there is plenty of room to peruse on opening day.
In addition to an abundance of healthy plant starts for your gardens, we will also have bags of Fort Vee Potting Soil and Compost Plus from Vermont Compost Company. We use their potting soil for all of our starts and highly recommend amending your garden beds with compost. Fertile soil is the foundation of healthy plants. The nutrients in your garden soil are key to making your veggies nutritious and full of flavor.
The farm will be open on Fridays and Saturdays from 8 am - 2 pm through the first weekend in June. We look forward to seeing you soon!
