January was much like late April. February has returned to normal weather patterns. We set out spinach, mache', beets and carrots under the caterpillar tunnels (low rise hoop structures with clear plastic covers) and have our fingers crossed. We have started arrugula, tomatoes, grape vines, hazelnut seedlings, mild and hot peppers, parsnips and much more indoors, one month earlier than 2011. We are quitre confident that we will be supplying the Tomato-Tomato store, restaurants and institutional clients with salad greens and vegetables, asparagus and kohlrabi before the end of March. By mid-April, we should have excess and begin delivering to new restaurant clients.
We have provided existing and prospective chef-owned restaurants with our growing intentions and asked that they provide us with names of items they might wish to buy. There will be plenty of room in the gardens to accomodate these desires.
