What's happening in the field?

Last Wednesday, a group from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds toured the State Fruit Experiment Station. Today, Emily and I visited their large and interesting operation. We toured gardens, greenhouses, and high tunnels with a large assortment of interesting plants! Jere Gettle, the founder, and Leroy, the greenhouse specialist and plant propagator, took time out of their day to give us an excellent tour!

Leroy shows us one of the plant propagation beds.

Jere Gettle talked about some of the new plants they are trialing.

The black turmeric had a flower at the base.

Citrus is growing well in the greenhouse.
