Praying the strawberries make it through the night

It's 16 degrees right now, and the wind is blowing, and we're hoping the strawberry plants make it through the night. They are in our high tunnel, under row cover, with a small heater under there trying to stay warm.

The greenhouse is full again - Charles just keeps seeding and transplanting! This week he got lots of lettuce, peas, and beets seeded into trays. The beets are an experiment - we've never transplanted beets into the field before. But in order to try to get them earlier, we're going to try! After it gets warmer, we'll direct-seed them into the fields.

We'll have to move more plants into the high tunnel to make room for new seedlings soon.

It's difficult moving about the farm without creating ruts and making a mess of the roads. So we walk a lot of the time. It's difficult walking though, with your feet sliding and scooting out from under you!

So as you lay in your nice, warm bed tonight, think of our little strawberry plants and say a little prayer for us, please!
