Over the weekend, Liz and I put our first winter planting in. We erected our new hoop house over the Christmas holidays (pictures to come soon), and we put our first seeds into the ground over MLK weekend. This first planting is something of an experiment to see what will come up, and we plan to put another crop into the ground in about two weeks. And as you can see from the pictures below, it was warm enough inside the hoop house that I actually ended up taking my coat off and working in short sleeves — a very surreal feeling for the middle of January.
