Winter CSA January 29-30
Posted 1/28/2011 7:24pm by Andre Cantelmo.
Since our last communication I imagine that we've all been doing much the same thing: moving snow from one place to another. Personally, I would love for it to stop until December but that seems unlikely. Fortunately for all of us the snow doesn't affect the harvest or storage of our winter treats. This will be the last of the lettuce until later in the spring. Starting tommorrow we'll be preparing the former home of the lettuce for some seedings of salad greens that should be ready later in March. The vitagreen and Yukina Savoy are both delicious salad greens. You can also cook them, but I would suggest only a quick wilt.
Sometime in the next week we will begin seeding onions and shallots for the coming season. The first greenhouse tomatoe plants will be in place by March 1st. There may be 3 feet of snow on the ground with temps below zero at times but the light has changed. The birds have definitely noticed, just this morning I heard several different male cardinals testing out their spring voices. When all seems cold and dormant, life is stirring!
