After many weeks of low key worry, the state finally got back to us and confirmed that we're licensed to sell plants for another year! This time around there are additional compliance agreements (and fees) that are required but I'm very hopeful about this season. Next step is getting accepted to some new markets we're looking to attend, maybe a festival or two. Now I just need to have the weather play nice so I can be on time for spring shipping and inspections.

Someone gave us a setup for doing puree storage for our almost six month old, so we're looking to add more veggies to the plots for making our own baby food - I would love some suggestions for some veg with interesting colors for her to experience. I've got a carrot medley waiting for the snow to melt, and some awesome purple potatoes, but would love some more ideas!

What's growing on with you all?

As far is fun veggies go, I grew some "carnival" beets last year that had really fun patterns when you cut them open. They were very tasty roasted!

My seed order from Fedco recently arrived and I'm thinking about planting some radish and/or lettuce inside to get things going. Also eagerly awaiting some high-bush blueberries coming later this spring!

The solid ice we've had for the last couple weeks is finally melting, and I biked to work for the first time today since before the holidays, so that was nice! I'm excited to see things start to come up again soon, and to go on another crusade against the garlic mustard once it starts showing its face in my yard

Oooh, we haven't tried beets but she's been loving the sweetness of the squashes we've given her. Great call!

I think I'm waiting on witch hazel from fedco, I should go check receipts ... Which blueberry cultivars did you pick? We have some 'Duke's and 'Jersey's but have found a ton of random highbush as we've been renovating the woodlot.

I went with a "Bluejay" and "Blueray" to start with, though I'm hoping to add more (and other berries) each year.

The beets were a few different colors, but here's one of them -
