That’s what they say down here along the coast, and unfortunately it goes both ways. Just after the long cold spell with13 days when temperatures dipped below freezing(!!!), we had a brief period of warm and clear weather. Then… just as we were ready to start on our greenhouse. construction was held up again, thanks to mother nature… Now, we do love the rain, but not on the day we wanted to build our greenhouse!

Our very patient volunteer Mr. Bill Brandson, is hangin’ in there with us and we feel sure the sun will be shining down on him and our Adaptive Gardens class from Georgetown HS on Monday as we put together our much anticipated greenhouse. But, in the meantime, come on out to the Our Local Foods Farm Store and pick up one of the overflowing bags of mixed lettuces our Adaptive Gardens class from Wando HS harvested on Wednesday or better yet, the seed paper the Adaptive Gardens class from Lincoln HS made on Tuesday!

The students of Adaptive Gardens of the Lowcountry have been bundling up and braving the cold!  We have been weeding and gathering our winter harvest; lettuce, collards  and kale, all for sale in the Our Local Foods Farm Store.  The cold weather did keep us inside some, where we have perfected our Seed Paper!  We have made lots of spring lettuce Seed Paper and had lots of fun doing it!  Please come by the Farm Store and check it out!  The seed paper is easy to use and will make starting all those tiny seeds a cinch!
