Today, with the first snowfall upon us, the 7^th grade helped put the hoop house to bed. During our fall gardening class we planted mixed salad greens, arugula and some Swiss chard. The seedlings are tiny now but come February, when the light begins to change and the sun to shine, they will start to photosynthesize and grow. Last year we had two out of four boxes survive the bitter cold temperatures. We are hopeful that we have a milder winter and a better crop for our salad bar this next spring season. The hoop house is always a sweet space to go in the winter, as it is always warmer inside especially when the sun shines.
