Moonstruck Farms

This is not the most inspiring part of the year for a farmer with barely any eggs and plants limping along in the short days, but can be restful??  I only have the roses, butterfly bushes and fruit trees to prune. Bareroot trees to go into the ground.  All planting to be completed in greenhouses for Spring.  All the animal corrals need manure cleaned out and the allium crops to be planted outdoors....hmmmm........restful...though the Lord has decided that I must since I have been sick!! I am not getting better so I guess I have no choice but to get some extra rest.  In the meantime the seed catalogs are all stacked next to my bed waiting for me.  I do 90% of my ordering from Fedco Seeds in Maine.  They are an employee owned cooperative with organic and nonorganic seed, but absolutely no GMO.  They have a black and white catalog, but great prices so when I need to see a picture I look at the other catalogs!!  So here is where the inspiration comes in this time of year in the form of beautiful seed catalogs and dreams of the coming season!  Another farmer emailed me a comment today and I had to share....it had me and my daughter rolling in laughter!!  So here is a giggle for you I hope...she said, "The seed catalogs are coming in fast and furious.  It is like p*rn for farmers.   I always sit down with a glass of wine and enjoy the pretty pictures".  :)
