We started seeds under lights in the house about mid-March: lettuces, chinese greens, broccoli, kale, onions, tomatoes and several kinds of flowers.
In the garden, we planted salad greens, arugula, spinach and peas on March 27th – way early for this climate, but it was such a glorious spring week – and then it snowed all the next week. Thank goodness the seeds are smart enough to wait, unlike the gardener!
April 20th – transplanted the onions and leeks, started in March, into the garden.
In a day. you can make your own rope hammock or hammock chair. Malcolm will guide you through the weaving of the hammock bed, tying the ends, joining the stretchers, and, most importantly, testing the finished product.

Our theme for 2008 at Blue Chicory was “foundation” as we began the gardens, the workshop business, and several building projects.
