Harvesting and planting veggies in high tunnel

by

Today we planted ‘Provider’ bean seeds, harvested more lettuce as well as some broccoli. Some heads on the broccoli were quite small but we had to pick them since a few were starting to flower. I brought a head of each lettuce variety up to Simpson’s Family Farm for Deb French and Mom Simpson to estimate crop value at market.

Here is the second harvest of the Salanova lettuce varieties.
