What a remarkable snowfall!  We have 18 inches and it is still coming down.  Bob has been out plowing the snow (playing in the snow?) all morning and we’re still buried!  No problems with the greenhouses so far, knock-on-wood.  Our staff is happy that we are closed and they don’t have to come to work today!

When you can get outside today, take a broom and gently knock the snow off your evergreens. A snow this wet and heavy can bend them down or even break them. 

Today is February 3rd.  And February 3rd marks the half way point between the beginning of winter and the beginning of spring.  As someone who aches to get out and dig in the dirt, I think that’s great news! We’re on the downward slope of the hill.

We are having our first meeting tomorrow to firm up our choices of what vegetables to grow for you this year.  We went to the Giant Eagle Marketplace again today, and all that luscious produce for sale there made me eager to get started growing my own. 

If you are just starting out growing veggies, we’re here to help.  We have all grown vegetables for many years and we are eager to share what we’ve learned with you!  Think of us as your personal gardening resource.
