Eric and I finally put the greenhouse to good work yesterday, using it as a workspace for some of our spring projects. After pruning over 100 cuttings from Frank’s fig tree, we planted those cuttings in a few large growing containers — hopefully a majority of them will take root and we can jump-start our nursery business. We also plan to take some cuttings from other figs and test some different breeds and varieties to see which do best in our climate.
After the cuttings were planted, we started a few of the spring veggies in flats that Mitchell and I had picked up at Webster Brothers last week — celeriac, arugula, lacinato kale, and tres fine endive. We’ll see these go — with temps still going down to freezing and below at night, germination maybe be tricky even with warmer temps in the greenhouse during the day. Maybe some blankets for our babies?
