(By Janice Stevens) Yes, the time has come to begin planting. There is still snow and no apparent lasting thaw in sight, but I have the pleasure of working in a 70° hoophouse. Yesterday, Titus planted peas and radishes, I planted lettuce and weeded lettuce, mustard, and mesclun planted last fall, and Mark weeded and watered (shoveling snow into the hoophouse). Nora lay in the sunny hoophouse doorway watching the world go by, trying to recover from a devastating disease that nearly took her life around Valentine’s day.
