Check out that weather forecast! It is actually going to be above freezing every day for the next week, here in NE Iowa. Finally back to ‘average’ temperatures after a long, cold winter. Now the question is how quickly the snow will melt. We’re hoping for freezing temp’s most nights to slow down the thaw and keep the flooding to a minimum.
The space under the grow lights in my basement is crammed with flats of onion seedlings. This week I’ll be starting the propane heater in the small hoop house, and the older seedlings will move out there, making room in the more climate-controlled basement for the first plantings of lettuce, beets, cherry tomatoes and kohlrabi. Fresh greens are still a ways off, but salads will soon be much more interesting and local!
