#hightunnel

The Bottomfield calendula patch is seen here in the foreground with our high tunnel in the background. Lots of hot weather for the next bunch of days means rolling up the sides of the high tunnel and lots of water. Fortunately our transplants are much better settled in the fields this year compared to June of 2020 when we were hit hard by the heat and drought. All told, we got about an inch of rain this week. It’s not that much but it made a huge difference! ••• #farmlife #herbfarm #hillfarm #hightunnel #flowers #herbs #herbalism #vermontgrown #farm #vermontfarm (at Free Verse Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPx9e38hH78/?utm_medium=tumblr

Rainbow over the high tunnel!

I started about 50 trays of seeds during this waxing crescent moon. Now colder nights are coming, so I have covered everything up. So excited for this growing season! #seedstarting #wintercrops #hightunnel #lowtunnels #waxingcrescent (at Newtown Square, Pennsylvania)

Beds amended and shaped. Drip lines set. Herbs transplanted. Winter greens seeded. Tarps and covers rolled out. Patio table and chairs set up for winter hangouts. Been waiting years for this and feeling excited. Here’s the view from either end of the tunnel. ••• #farmlife #herbfarm #vermontfarm #hightunnel #wintergrowing #herbs #vermontgrown #vermontlife (at Free Verse Farm & Apothecary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4QHpIBhkH3/?igshid=1l8slc3w52pt5

Completed high tunnel looking very fine in the early morning light. We’ll be filling it up with plants this week! ••• #farmlife #herbfarm #vermontfarm #hillfarm #autumn #hightunnel #morninglight #vt #802 #vermontlife (at Free Verse Farm & Apothecary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B32SZ-5B_7G/?igshid=t2bieqrdvgg0

Doing a few finishing touches on the high tunnel, including a little solar light to guide us out here in the dark days of winter. This tunnel is off grid so we’ve also set up solar vents on the gable ends that automatically open when the tunnel reaches a certain temperature on hot days. ••• #farmlife #herbfarm #hillfarm #hightunnel #solar #wintergrowing #farm #vermontgrown #vermont #bt #802 #offgrid (at Free Verse Farm & Apothecary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4C5XcLBQ_6/?igshid=19a4v5meo0eew

Warm, overcast, and breezy today. Most of the leaves are gone but the grass still holds its green. More work shifting indoors these days. ••• #farmlife #herbfarm #hillfarm #vermontfarm #vermontbyvermonters #vermontlife #rural #farm #vermont #vermonting #pasture #landscape #hightunnel #autumn #foliage (at Free Verse Farm & Apothecary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4AywmphoTS/?igshid=178zu2al83c6f
