As the Chinese New Year celebration draws to an end officially yesterday (Jan 15 on Lunar Calendar; Feb 9th on Solar Calendar this year), I can no longer legitimately put off this project of starting up a blog for my parents for the New year. I hope this blog helps to document important events on the farm and the exciting growth of this place.
Spring is just around the corner with warmer temperatures and the budding energy in the soil that's waiting to be unleashed!
We began seeding as early as Jan 21st. A pebble counter embedded with heating cables in the green house allowed us to prepare seedlings without worrying the soil would turn into frozen blocks.
So far we have seeded fava beans, shelling peas, sugar snap peas, beet, spinach (including the spiky Japanese spinach seeds saved by the organic farming guru Kaneko Kaneko. They were given to Michelle while she was apprenticing on Mr. Kaneko's farm), cilantro, arugula, bok-choi, artichoke, Ta-tsai, Kabu (Japanese turnips), cherry tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, fennel. As you can see, quite a line-up of vegetables!
We also started transplanting peas into the green house.
