Memorial Day Irrigation Installation Begins

It has been awhile since my last post but that is because Teresa and I have been very busy.   This is Memorial Day so I thought I would give a snapshot of where we are so far.    Sowing – I am about a month behind on my sowing schedule. It is a hard thing to manage.  For the longest time it was so cold, and we had no Sun.  The green house was good and could hold a temperature, but the lack of Sun meant things were not growing well.  All the trays had green mold looking stuff and I was worried we were going to start losing plants.  I think I started too soon because the plants outgrew their 72 cell trays and stop growing but I thought it was because of the mold and lack of Sun.  At some point we started transplanting into 2in pots and some plants just took off.  That was cool.  So now the focus was on prepping the field.
