Thinking about the new year and the new growth of plants is very inspiring. Today I thought I would start the new year off with a walk around the FarmLab. Things are always lush in our indoor gardens, and the farm was quite a contrast. Most of its plants are brand new seedlings. The weather was drizzling, but beautiful. The farm has many resolutions for the coming year, and this is the first year winter crops have been planted. I can’t wait to see how the production will grow. Besides the strawberries, broccoli and some artichokes that remain in the ground, a large number of new crops have been started, including chard, kale, peas and lettuce. 

The irrigation is neatly laid to provide fertlizer. For now, the rain brings water.

The specific variety of crops are well marked.

This artichoke has grown since last year. Did you know the leaves are edible too?

The broccoli plants that were harvested last year have re-grown and are going to seed.
