Despite the snow today, and sleet yesterday! We did manage to have a lovely gathering here on Saturday for the Seeds, Soil and Sourdough! Thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy the warm sunshine, talk gardening, eat wood-fired baking, make seedballs, and celebrate the coming of spring with us.  I was so busy talking with people that I only got a chance to snap a few photos ahead of time.

Seedlings, seedlings everywhere - come celebrate spring with us Sat, April 18 or Sat, May 23

The house feels like spring!  We have trays and trays of seedlings sprouting everywhere - all our grow racks are filled and brimming, the window ledges and table tops are covered as we move seed trays around the house to maximize light.  Flowers like zinnias, marigolds, sunflowers are up, cayennes, tomatoes, basils, lettuce starts, kales...We are starting to fill up the grow tunnels outside, and the new greenhouse with seedlings as well, even though it's still under renovation.  Such a hopeful time, starting to work in the soil again, planning the garden and thinking of all the good food to come.

Come on out to celebrate spring with us! - either April 18 at our Seeds, Soil & Sourdough Event from 10-12; or Sat, May 23 at our 13th Annual Organic Seedling Sale (where you will find all these seedlings we are talking about, and more - loads of heirloom tomatoes, plus culinary and medicinal herbs, flowers and much more).
