Spring is right around the corner. Traditionally we are in the field planting with a tractor by the end of march. Hard to believe as it snows today. We have a high tunnel full of spinach and lettuce that with a few days in the 40s and 50s will be lush with new growth. By mid march we should be picking spinach.
