It is February and garden plans are swirling in my head. We have had an extremely mild winter. Last year I planted my first crops in the middle of March under a small tunnel. This year I want to push it up to the beginning of March.
The lettuce that I left under a tunnel has survived and will be ready to harvest after only a few weeks of warm weather. I expect to cut lettuce by the end of March.
I have been reading Eliot Coleman's books regarding winter harvests. He has developed amazing techniques for extending the garden season. If he can grow in unheated tunnels in Maine, I should certainly be able to do it in Pennsylvania.
We will start to market our vermicompost on a more serious scale this year. Decisions about packaging size are being made. We hope to be in a local store by March or April.
