The Hightunnel is done! Here on Growing Boys farm we are so glad to have the hightunnel (also know as an unheated greenhouse) up and planted for winter. There are lettuces, spinach, carrots, onions, cabbage, greens, and radish all planted in neat little rows enjoying a nice warm fall and hopefully growing big and strong. Big and strong so we and maybe some of you can enjoy them all winter long. About a year ago we read a book about a farm who was growing veggies all year round. All Year round! Who doesn't want fresh salad in the dead of winter? Then we were blessed with on oppertunity to get our very own hightunnel. Now we will also be growing all year round. Some people say walking into the hightunnel is like walking into a nice spring morning. Let me tell you yesterday it was like working in the dead of summer, 40 deg outside the tunnel and 90deg inside. I could have planted carrots in my bathing suit (although I didn't). We are so thankful for all the help we had in putting up the hightunnel. Believe me it was not an easy task to put up a 30x72' building with just us four, so when friends and family showed up to help we were elated. Thank you all so much. And maybe we can pay back the favor with fresh veggies this winter. Don't forget winter market is the 2nd Saturday of every month at the Extension Office. I'm sure the other farmers will have lots of fresh goddies too.
