Well this time of year the weather and the sun offer the promise of spring and another growing season. Then it goes nuts and we get a nor'easter. Waiting for 4-8 inches of blowing snow they are promising today. At least I did not see any of the 50mph winds they were talking about last week. I have to drive to boston to pick up my oldest daughter this evening becuase her flight was cancelled yesterday due to this now behind schedule storm. Ahh well..... Chives look like some will be ready for market this Saturday. The chickens are wondering farther from the coop each day eating the grass that has been exposed....man are they laying alot of eggs right now. Flats of plants all over the place sprouting and growing. Lot's of new tomatoes to try and attempting some grafting.  Going to graft a few of my cherry tomato plants next.  All my onion starts look good (for once) and a bunch of lettuce survived the transisition out to the greenhouses.  Thinking I have figured out how to harden the stuff off correctly for a change.  Four flats of mesclun plugs have all germinated and should be ready to go into the ground in 2-3 weeks. Peeps are doing well and I have another 26 replacements that are supposed to show up in the storm today.  Well take care all and I am going to sit in the office today doing paperwork for the farm.
