The very beginnings of the steel rainbow high tunnel. We're putting up our 20ftx48ft High Tunnel this weekend. This is the first of 13 steel arcs I built yesterday. The metals been patiently waiting to go up since last fall when winter snuck in early and all material was covered with tarps.
We're really looking forward to about a 1000 sqft. of additional growing space. This is where the Heirloom Tomatoes, Peppers and Squashes will be living this summer.
Oohs and Aahs for the little garlic shoots pushing up. We have 500 plants of organic soft and hardneck garlic growing!
Sort of - "volunteer" - 5 sprouting garlic from bulbs we left in during our bulbil trial
Shallots!
And are mostly bantam chickens are in too. Depending on the mystery bag of roosters to hens we should have some organic eggs in early fall for those interested in supplementing their vegetables this season-and probably a rooster or two to give away for those looking to expand their fowl production. Their new residence will be the newly planted heirloom fruit tree orchard. Jobs description includes eating some grasshoppers, egg production and absolutely loving slugs (the slimy's seems unlikely)
