Hello Folks, Here's hoping for a bit of rain. Way too many projects all going on at once. Getting some help from some great individuals and it gives me somebody to talk to besides myself while I am working. Ground Cherries are planted and mulch is down for some cut flowers and the onions are going in. Need to get the rest of the tomatoes and eggplant in and starting moving the rest of the flats out to the greenhouses. Almost done with field prep, resisting the urge to plant outside. Next wave of flats need to get seeded. Those of you interested will now be able to get my veggies at Kismet (been there for a while), L.A.C.E. in Barre, and the Uncommon Market on the corner of Elm and School St's in Montpelier.  Right now I have all kinds of fun stuff in early. Gotta go. Here's for that rain they are promising tonight. 

What a day!! and it was Monday! Trenching is well under way....what a job. I completely understand why ditch digging has not remained a viable profession in this country. 82 degrees and a nice breeze. Had a neighbor come up with his tractor and rototiller and prep 4 new beds for me. They look great and I can imagine the quality of the beds if I had spent 2 full days of my time with my walk behind BCS tiller. 20 yards of stone delivered also for the trenches and 10 cord of log length fire wood stacked way too high. Guess he realized I was a seventh generation flatlander and thought he was being funny. Dug up all the daffodils and put them next to the first greenhouse then tilled the field up. Farmer's Tan is in full swing and so early in the season. Busy week ahead and that does not include the farming I need to get done. Cooler temps for the rest of the week so this should be good for the field work.  

Market at the Doty Elementary School Today from 10-4. A little long, hope it goes well. Raining this morning but supposed to clear up and hit the 80's. Too warm too early, could cause the asparagus to pop up and then we get hit with few more frosts between now and June 1st. Have to bag up salad and get the truck loaded.
