Harvest Monday

This week I, again, didn't get into the hoop houses.  It snowed all day Saturday and Sunday it just wasn't warm enough for me to feel comfortable opening them up and letting all the heat out.  So, this weeks harvests are only from under the grow lights (thank goodness for the grow lights)!! Green, green and more green.  It sure…
