January Harvest
Back in October and November when we were putting up the hoop house I wasn’t sure what that really meant. Sure, I knew it would extend my growing season. I knew that it was more likely to be successful in allowing me to begin next year’s season early rather than extending last year’s growing season late.
But this morning I went down and lo, nearly all my spinach planted last week is sprouting with terrific germination (the best I’ve ever had from spinach).
Further, I harvested a big bowl of salad greens and several sprouts:
We eat a lot of salad, but I think in the past 8 months or so I have bought one bag of spinach…maybe two.
I’ve also got healthy rosemary, kohlrabi, dill, and turnips. The perpetual spinach chard planted last spring is still going gangbusters.
I think I have watered twice – if that – since November.
That hoop house just might be a good investment after all.
