Baby tomato plants
Our baby tomato plants in germinating mix. Later on in the season we will plant these outdoors in the field.
Organic mulch
By grinding up the trimmings after we prune the trees in the orchard, we start off the growing season with an organic mulch that helps reduce soil erosion, prevents the soil from drying out, and keeps the plants healthier.
