A Stop at Johnny’s Research Farm

April 11th, 2017

Yesterday I had to run up to Johnny’s seed to pick up a few things I needed. It certainly is handy that I can call in the morning and pick something up an hour later. After picking up my seeds, I stopped at the research farm on the way back home to see what was growing in the high tunnels.





I noticed these benches that they use for plants and trays of seedlings. I’ve been wanting to build something like this for a while. It would very convenient for my many trays of seedlings.

Do you have any plans to build anything to make your gardening easier?

    That’s so awesome that you can tour the farm like that. One of the great regrets of my life (and I’m fortunate it’s such a minor one :-) is that I didn’t realize the Seed Savers Exchange farm is in Decorah, Iowa, a place we actually stopped on our way to a family event several years ago. I don’t anticipate being in Iowa again, so I think I missed my chance. Boo.
