In the poly tunnel update

2 weeks ago: the tomatoes are starting to bush out and grow up.


In the new beds - basil varieties. Hot and sweet peppers and eggplants are growing in the beds to the right.



Jen, Whitney and Jamie have been raking the fields for grass mulch.



We got the trellis structure up over the outdoor tomatoes but the guys just looked shocked for two weeks - wilting, purpling, looking sick. Some caught early blight, others looked like they had bacterial canker. We swapped out over 40 with healthier starts over a two week period. Finally now the current crop seems to be holding its own and responding to the bright skies and warming days and night. Leaf colors look even and healthy and fresh.
