Well....Last "winter" farmer's market is tomorrow. VC gym from 10-2pm. Fitting that we will have snow this weekend. I have about an inch of it this morning. It's nice since it forces me to slow down and focus on the greenhouses. It's way too early for this warm weather. The asparagus is going to be very confused, come up early and then get frost and die back. the chickens are very confused with the white stuff. So what else is going on........ CSA has only 2 shares left to sell and we are full. A fair amount of the early early outdoor plantings have germinated and popped up through the soil. Weeds are getting an early start also. Saw my first tarnished plant bug of the season the other day. Killed the little bugger too. Nematodes have been added to the greenhouse soil in high hopes of controlling chafer beetles this year. Aphids are having a population explosion in the spinach. Turned loose the green lacewing larva. Hopefully they will get a handle on them before the summer stuff goes in. Quite a bit of carpentry needs to get done at some point around here. Definately need a heated potting shed. The use of the basement has reached capacity and then some. This will be the last year I am down there I hope. Deer pressure is going to be huge issue this year. Shooting will finally have to start. Much to the neighbors chagrin. Gotta go.
