MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 10/52 of 2022
Dear Farm Members,
This week we will begin planting our first round of greenhouse grown transplants. From early spring days to mid-September, we take plants that are ready and throw them out into the world each week. These plants were started in our greenhouse in early January and after weeks of watering and watching by our propagation manager, Mike, they are ready for the next phase.
In these early spring days, we protect our plants with "remay" covering (sometimes called agribon), which makes our fields look like seas of white cap waves. These coverings give our plants some extra love and care before they have to face the elements. The remay keeps the temperatures warm and helps retain moisture in the soil. In a few short weeks, we'll remove the covering and be pleasantly surprised by the food that has grown beneath, and the occasional gopher that has taken up residence.
Our early spring flower shares start next week, March 16th/17th. A sure sign that spring is here in the foothills and that hope springs eternal. If you need a little pick me up, flower shares are beautiful ways to brighten your world. You can sign up for flower shares here.
Enjoy your shares this week,Grace
