Yesterday I ordered a 96 x 30 foot 'hoophouse' for the field. Should be planting in there in about 2 weeks! It is a minimal greenhouse structure for growing directly in the soil. Think of it as a humongous hot cap! Growing in a hoop can extend your season about a month on each end of the season. Next year at this time, I will already have cool season crops planted in there. We will tour the 'hoop' on our garden class field trip.
Please bookmark my blog. I add something new a couple times a week, and this is where the weekly farm hours and daily events will be posted, and please forward us to your friends, send us around the Minnesota!
