It’s planting season!

We are fully immersed in planting season at Tripping Gnome!

In the last 4 weeks, we have planted multiple varieties of potatoes, swiss chard, radishes, carrots, kale, lettuce, tomatoes, basil, cucumbers, squash, beans, peas, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, onions, spinach, peppers, eggplant, celery, strawberries, and blueberries - whoa! We can’t wait to harvest the best salad ever sometime around July!

This year, all of our veggies are growing in raised beds - either one of the four 80 foot x 4 foot wooden ones, built by our Head of Operations, Corey, or one of the seven smaller metal beds from Vego Garden.   We also have delicious Tulameen raspberries growing in pots right now, which we are planning to move into our soon-to-be-built greenhouse for a winter harvest (more on that experiment coming soon).  

In more technical farm news, we’ve just installed a drip irrigation system in our beds to keep the crops healthy and hydrated. Shoutout to Trevor and his awesome team at Environmental Solutions for getting that up and running! 

That’s all for now! We can’t wait to welcome you when we officially open in JULY.
