Too cool to plant, but soon.  Broccoli, cabbage, onions and lettuces are growing bigger in the heated greenhouse and the pepper plants and other vegetables that Miller Plant Farm is growing for York Fresh Food Farms will be ready soon.  Bruce Manns and Erick Negron are preparing the high tunnel for growing 600 pepper plants and getting ready to put plants in the ground as soon as the weather shapes up.
