Ouch! What a week!!! Orders are strong, CSA starts next week, asparagus is trying really hard to come up. Lost a bunch to the frost as well as most of my ground cherries. Debating whether to pull the mulch off the asparagus. Ground Cherries will have to be replanted. Wind has been unrelenting up here this year. Thursday was the first time I did not feel it was safe to be in the greenhouses. All my black plastic got torn up and blown all over the place and I had just planted 800 cabbage and broccoli plugs into it. Two chicken coops blew over and one of them had 2 dozen eggs in it that all broke. A huge thank you to Nat and Christa for helping out on Friday. Baby Ducks were not baby ducks but actually 25 Guinnea Fowl. What in the world am I supposed to do with them now? On top of that they are really noisy as adults. Ducks coming (again) next wend.  Tomato plants have turned a nice shade of purple so now I need to track down some bone char and work that into the soil as best I can. Also running back and forth from St. Albans trying to get the camp open with my brother who is up for a few days. I wish school would hurry up and let out so my kids can start working regularly for me. Well gotto go pack out some orders and "walk the estate" to see how things are doing. Finally solved the electric fence problem and just in time. 4 Deer every morning at the back wire, could be a problem as fields get planted. Hardy Kiwi arrived, just need to figure out where it is going to get planted. One last note check out the Capitol City Farmer's Market on twitter. Here's the link--https://twitter.com/Montpmarket

Gotta go Joe......
