Sorry it's been so long since my last blog posting. Spring arrived very quickly once it decided to come. The weather extremes stepped up the orchard bloom time by about two to three weeks earlier then normal and that means I lost a bunch of time to work in the orchards. Now everything needs doing at the same time. We just got our all essential skid steer back working again after it decided to founder on the neighbors property edge at the beginning of April. I'm sure when they asked us if we could just dump a couple of scoops of compost on their garden they never dreamed they would end up with such a lovely yard ornament[ hey - it was only in their yard for a week]. We managed to finally get it back to the barn where we could rip into it. Now many, many, hours later it's back in operation with so very much to do.
The greenhouses are nicely filled with young seedlings awaiting their special time to go out to the fields. We've planted lots of lettuces, swiss chard and onions. The potatoes are up and showing their green heads to the sun. Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant seedlings look great and we'll begin planting them outside when the weather stabilizes a bit.
It's been great to see many of our work share members again this Spring. We're getting a chance to get caught up with what's been going on since we saw each other last year. Thanks go to all our work share members -you're doing a super job! Lots of hoeing, weeding and planting going on around here. Karen
