Farm Photos! Hakurei Turnips!

Our high tunnel in February. A high tunnel is an unheated greenhouse that allows farmers to extend the growing seasons and have a more natural, four-season harvest. Far Left: Overwintering Lisianthus… trying to keep them warm enough to live and have an early crop. 2nd row: Overwintering Rosemary. 3rd Row: Carrots… are you there? 4th Row: Hakurei Turnip and Watermelon Radish.

Christina in the high tunnel in February—a new crop of Hakurei Turnip.

Christina shows off a small Harukei Turnip. They generally grow larger than this, but this one will be sweet and tender.
