Visiting the Farr Farm

vinca

My sister-in-law and her husband have a greenhouse business in upstate New York. We visited recently and got to see their greenhouse in its early glory. They've got an amazing jump on things and I was thrilled to walk through up and down the warm and humid rows, looking at the flowers, herbs, vegetables and berries. We looked at the raspberries and strawberries they have in greenhouses separate from the vegetables and flowers and, while we were there, they were taking in loads of sand and topsoil to raise the ground level so it wouldn't be so wet. Soon they'll be planting their vegetable garden inside and from the looks of their cucumber plants in pots, they'll be eating fresh salad sometime in May. I love visiting their small farm, they've always got projects going on and the ambition of their plans never fails to encourage me to get home and work in the outdoors.
