Whew! two posts in one day.....well the weather is great! Now to get something done and some salad sold. CSA is doing well and according to my record keeping I have just 4 shares left. Placed a huge seed order today for the season. Next thing to do is pick up a few tools and get the irrigation stuff ordered. I must seed tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant this week. It's time....... Temporary greenhouses will be the big push/project this spring. I am going to put one up over the front asparagus, which needs some very tedious and serious weeding done to it. I mulched and weeded last year but.....putting the chickens in there does the best job. So the snow is melting the peeps are feathering out, the crew is coming together for the season. I may even have some soup assistance. What is it Hope springs eternal or is eternal springs hope or hope is eternal spring? bye.......
Hey Gang,
What a difference a week in California makes. What they call a farmer's market and organic out there in Orange County is very interesting to say the least. Survived the Tsunami warning, ate alot of tex-mex and the farm managed to survive without me. Thanks to Kate and my neighbors for making it possible. Especially with the 2 feet of wet heavy snow. Now it's back and working double time. The greenhouses are exploding with greens and spinach. Great weather and everything is moving right along.
