Greenhouse is Going & Winter Blues Market

We got our "bare-root" dormant strawberry plants last week, and Charles got them potted up and growing in the greenhouse. Actually, some of them got planted directly into the ground in the tunnel, under row cover (an experiment). So far, so good! Can't wait for some lovely strawberries to start coming on in June and going through the fall.

Beyond the strawberries, we have some greenery starting to show up in the greenhouse. We planted some peas for pea shoots and buckwheat for sprouts - couldn't wait for real food.

We attended the "Winter Blues Market" in Morgantown Monday evening - it was the kickoff event of the WV Small Farms Conference. We took our salsa and hot pepper jelly. We were so pleased at the turnout of vendors and (more importantly) customers! Our customers are the best! The market was a success, and there is talk of trying to do a winter farmers market in Morgantown next winter - maybe once a month or so. Let me know if you have ideas/comments/suggestions for it!
