i've been wearing less layers to work, no more wool sweaters and long underwear
snow and snap peas were planted in the field
450lbs of potatoes (yukon gold, red norland and kennebec) were planted in the fields
transplanted in field from seeds i started inside - several varieties of head lettuce, 3 varieties of kale and collards
the greenhouse door is left open during the day, otherwise it gets to be 90 degrees in there!
there have been many sunny, warm days that make you almost break a sweat working outside
i cleaned out the farm stand, put out a few products for sale and made it officially open for the year!
there are still cool nights to remind us that it is not summer yet, but warm days to remind that it is almost here
the greenhouse is getting very full with seedlings to be planted in the fields
there are over 30 lambs running and jumping all around!
my days go by faster and faster and my to do list keeps growing. now is the time of year when i take advantage of any 'free' time and complete tasks that i know, if they don't get done, they won't until next winter. now is the time to stay on top of to do lists, especially planting schedules, because if i fall behind now, i will be behind all year. now is also a time to enjoy the warmth of the sun and getting my hands dirty planting in the fields.
