Holiday Holidays! A quick update on our progress

Whew! We made it through the fall filled with challenging but rewarding experiences for the afterschool folks, the Job1 and Cornerstone Ministries folks and our staff and interns. Finally, we are on break. Tis the night before Christmas and nothing is stirring except a few mice, the cats, the dogs, the chickens and us.
Here are some pictures of our progress and some more pictures of exciting things to come in the new year!

Our fall tomatoes are finally ripening up.

We have several varieties from yellow teardrops to celebrities.

And our hoophouse tomatoes are really taking off too! They seem to be growing about an inch a day. We hope to have tomatoes in year round production and available to market throughout 2012.

And seems like it never ends. We've already got about 2,000 starts seeded out of a total of 10,000 we will have ready for spring planting.

Our prickly pear love being in the hoophouse as do the green garlic in the background.

But one hoophouse isn't enough so we've started building another large hoophouse to replace our old ones. We are looking forward to an even better 2012 and wish you all the same!
