We don’t know about you, but here at Bushel Boy, the tomato vines are ready for some mid-winter sunshine.
November and December are usually the darkest months of the winter around here, and January’s colder temperatures usually bring clear skies and sun. But it has been a bit cloudier than normal since Christmas, and the vines (along with everyone who works here) could really use a nice, long sunny spell.
When the sun comes out, the greenhouses brighten up. People do too. Even the bumble bees seem to have a little more zip and get busier. You can almost hear the vines say, “Aaahhh!” as they get busy turning that sunlight into luscious red Bushel Boy tomatoes.
So let’s think sunshine, everyone. Let’s get this cloudy weather out of here, get these tomatoes growing, and get ourselves closer to spring one sunny day at a time. — Bushel Boy
