Greenhouse is up and running!

Our new greenhouse is up and running.  I was going to opt for a "professional" greenhouse but decided it was more economical to just use the high tunnel design I came up with that I've used for our field-based starting houses before.  In fact, the frame of this greenhouse is recycled from a high tunnel used in 2010 at the farm.  The greatest addition this year is gas heat which means I don't have to light the coal stove every day!

There are 2,000 cabbage plants started and a number of leeks, tomatoes, cucumbers, Asian greens, lettuces, and herbs.  We're off to a great start so far.  The hydroponic table is also set up out there and the plants are loving it.
