This Week in The Learning Garden

The greenhouse is in full production mode with every available surface covered with seedlings or grafted fruit trees. Many thanks to all the workshop participants who helped with the grafting last month, the trees are coming to
life and most of the garfts were successful. The trees are going to move outside to make more room for student seed trays and all the sowings for the Spring Plant Sale in April.

Today at the farm stand there will be some lovely lettuce mix, head lettuce, a little kale, some chard, carrots, parsley, and bunches of cilantro. We also have a a quantity of fabulous sunchokes from Sean's bead. Also known as
Jerusalem artichokes, these crunchy white tubers are terrific in a stir fry, tasty with roasted vegetables, and perfect with potatoes gratin or sliced raw in a salad. These tall sunflowers bloom in late summer and provide a fresh harvest in mid winter and early spring. Get some to eat and to plant! FThe farm stand opens afterschool at 3:30.

For sale in the nursery we have alyssum plants (which attract beneficia insects to your garden) and some healty parsley and oregano starts. There are also some potted Tulips ready to bloom which make a nice gift.

Hoping for some sun for the work day on Friday!
