Brrrr! It has suddenly gotten so cold out on the farm! I was hoping to start working on my new hoop house again this week, but no dice. I did venture down the very muddy farm road yesterday to drop off some tools for my neighboring farmer. That was an adventure! The big red beast-of-a-truck I drive did very well. Trouble is the farm road isn't very wide and it has a ditch on each side. There isn't a wide margin of error if I start to swerve. I made though, with a few close calls. Now the truck has got some serious mud splashes. Ahh, welcome to spring on the farm!
The greenhouse is actually turning green now. The onions, kale, broccoli, and even most of the herbs are up. I am definitely enjoying the warmth and shelter from the tempestuous March weather. This week I seeded peppers and the tomatoes that will go in the hoop house. Plus, a few flowers. For some reason I just can't not plant flowers. I just love seeing them on the farm.
Well, stay warm, Spring will come. Oh, and there are still CSA shares available! Sign up today!
