Survival of the Fittest















Freshly returned from a family visit to Seattle, WA, I couldn't wait to open the hoop houses to see how the plants survived the past couple weeks.  But first I had to deal with the 4 inches of ice that was now sealing the plastic to the ground...

Most plants are doing fine, not growing much but still alive.  The arugula suffered the most damage.  The soil inside the hoop houses looks beautiful.

















Juaquin and Thure visiting for an inspection...



































Several bags of lettuce, celery, kale and collard greens were harvested.  I had lettuce for breakfast and it was delicious.  Even though the leaves looked tired when picked, after being washed and refrigerated, they all perked up and looked vibrant.


SPECIAL REQUEST
We need someone to pick up coffee grounds at the 2 Ohori's Coffee locations 3 times/ week.
(1098 1/2 South St. Francis Drive (On Pen Road) and 507 Old Santa Fe Trail)
Tia has been doing this route for a couple months now .  Thank you Tia!
