One of the things we're hoping this blog will do is help our CSA members and other interested parties get a quick picture of what's going on as we progress through the growing season.
So - here's a very early garden/farm report:
We have over 1000 tomatoes planted in trays at this time. They are popping up as I type. The peppers will go in early this week. The onions and leeks are already up and are anywhere from 1 to 3 inches tall. There are some spices already in trays and we'll be starting many more very soon (this week).
The laying flock is running around outside and enjoying the weather much more than they have for some time. Egg production has slowed somewhat, but we still get about a dozen a day.
The frost is going out of the ground and the rains should help it leave the rest of the way (until/unless) we get a little more cooler weather in the next week or so.
We've got robins, killdeer and red winged blackbirds making their presence known. They've been telling us for nearly 2 weeks that Spring is beginning to win the battle with Winter.
The newsletter is nearly done and will be posted later today (Tuesday).
