Seedlings and Storm Clouds

I have been spending lots of time in the greenhouse.

Potting up seedlings getting them ready to leave the warmth of the greenhouse, for the loving hands of the home gardener.

Next week I’ll have tomatoes, kale, and more for sale at the Sonoma Valley Friday farmers market.

As the weeks go on the diversity of seedlings for sale with increase at Quarter Acre’s market booth.  Stop by to see whats available or to just chat about gardening.

For the last week or so, there have been dark clouds rolling through the valley bringing rain storms.  We’ll have torrential rain for a few minutes then the clouds will part and sunshine pours out.  It’ll warm up and get really hot, then just when you’re taking your rain coat off a cold wind blows by and the rains return. We have even had thunder and hail.  It is always amazing to watch Mother Nature at work.
