Thinking Green(house)

(Written Jan 10)
Last night all of the little growies in the greenhouse that had sprouted got a good dose of an organic foliar feed. Three more flats got planted. There is only room under lights for one more flat. It is time to look into at least one more light. When going through the seeds last night to do the planting, I realized that I had forgotten to order Jalapeño pepper seeds. One packet of seeds won’t cover a minimum order, so an alternate source will need to be found. The stores don’t have many summer seeds right now.

The compost is accumulating really slowly right now. There are plenty of leaves available, but they don’t really make very good compost by themselves. The main thing going into the bins is wood ashes and kitchen scraps. The little snow we had did a good job of soaking through the piles, so the compost is heating and decomposing well.

The only thing in the garden to eat is onions, kale and spinach. Everything else is frost killed. Nothing appears to be coming back except some of the cabbage. I may replant some of the greens this weekend depending on the advice I get from Mr. Blackley at Renfrow’s.
