Starting seedlings

The first onions emerged today—for us here on the farm, that means the new growing season has officially begun! In February and March, we grow many veggie seedlings indoors, for transplanting into the garden when the weather warms up. Onions and leek take the longest and go out the earliest, so they’re started first. Eventually, there will be tomatoes and peppers, broccoli and cauliflower, eggplant, melons, and more, all growing in plug sheets and pots under lights. It’s the first taste of spring!
