The world of gardeners is sometimes a strange one. For example, our Little Sprouts were hard at work two days before Valentine's day planting lettuce and snow peas...and just in time for our first snow fall of the year!
What their experience proves is that gardening isn't just a summer time activity; serious gardeners garden all year long. In mid January a couple of our gardeners traveled up to Mansfield, MO to buy heirloom seeds. The picture above is one of the varieties they picked up, an old favorite named Rutgers which was developed at Rutgers University back in the 1920s. In total, there will be about 10 different heirloom vegetables grown in the garden this year. We'll see how they do--literally.
In the next 10 days or so we'll be preparing seed trays in the beautiful greenhouse the Hale Family has allowed us to use. If you would like us to grow some seedlings for you, just let us know and we'll acquire the seeds if we don't have them now, and get them growing for you.
As you can see, rain, snow, or shine, we can--and do--garden in any weather!
