Poc Choi - the first plants in the garden this year.

Daveen holding the babies, the first plants in the garden this year.



There as been ongoing garden cleanup getting the beds ready.



Freshly layed I.R.T, a thin green plastic that well help keep pests out and sunlight and moister in. This is one of the ways the farm controls pests without using any chemicals, pesticides or herbicides. We are Toxin Free!




Once the plants are planted through holes in the IRT, we put up old pieces of moose fencing and then put clear plastic on top, creating small greenhouses.

Greenhouse Update 2

Tomatos

Lots of Basil

Fennel

Hanging flower baskets have been selling really well at the anchorage farmers market. I think everyone is eager to get some growing things in their houses again.

The Fields have been broken

We have started to move plants outside to harden off. Most will spend most of the week getting used to the colder air and strong UV light.


I have been pulling up all the T-tape the drip irrigation in the field. It all has to be pulled back so we can fertilize, add compost and then till the rows.

River Bean, tilling the first row of the season!
