Jenifer and I have been busy in the greenhouse sowing seeds. We have close to 5,000 potential plants coming on. I say potential because the majority of them are just tiny seeds in the dirt. Mostly lettuce, cabbage, and broccoli but also some kale and spicy greens, and even beets.
We don’t heat our greenhouse because the propane costs would be prohibitive. On a sunny day with temperatures in the 40’s, the greenhouse will easily heat up into the 80’s. It cools down quickly though at night.
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, we are expecting temperatures around 22-23 degrees. We will take the flats of seeds off the tables and set them on the ground in the greenhouse to take advantage of the natural heat sink of the earth. We will cover the flats with insulation board and blankets.
We won’t be planting outside anytime soon. Aftert 1.6 inches of rain Wednesday, everything is squishy.
