Winter in Maryland. . .and the weather has been relatively calm except for lots of rain. Where is the rain when we need it in June, July, and August. Our only snow so far came in October when the leaves were still on the trees! Our big project this past fall has been building our new high tunnel. We are very excited about this new addition that should give us a full month head start on the growing season. That means vine ripe tomatoes in June! More pictures to come. (more…)

Last Saturday afternoon and evening we had a light snow. Sunday morning provide some great photo oportunities. I took this shot as the sun was just coming up.

January is the month for conferences and hearing about the latest research to control everything that wants to eat or wreck havoc on our vegetables before we have chance to harvest them. We belong to two local organizations, the Maryland State Horticulture Society whose annual conference is part of the Mid Atlantic Fruit and Vegetable Conference. We are also member of Future Harvest – Chesapeake Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture. The theme for this years conference was “Local Food Key to Healthy People, Economies.
