Does it ever seem that all of a sudden, life just speeds up? It never ceases to surprise me, each spring that after months of imperceptible growth the plants grow inches in days. Okay, maybe not that fast... but fast nonetheless. Life in general seems to do the same! So here we are trying to hold on as the year moves forward. We have a lot going on at Blue House Greenhouse Farm, as you can imagine. First of all, you can begin preparing yourselves for the
reopening of the farm stand which will happen
Tuesday, May 7 as always from 4 till 7 pm. Mark your calendars and get your shopping bags ready!
What else? I (Amanda) will be offering a class through
Grow Portland, a local non-profit whose mission is to "empower our community to grow healthy food," entitled
Vegetable Gardening Basics Workshop! It will be held right on the farm! It's a workshop for the super beginner. Never grown a vegetable before in your life? No problem! We'll discuss site selection, NW soil basics, how to plant seeds and transplants, and so much more. If you want more information or would like to sign up click

I also wanted to share pictures from yet another super fun and super productive work party! You really don't want to miss out next time!
