Some farm related things that may or may not be of interest:

• Our first Tom Sawyer Day is going to be this Saturday from 2-6pm. At the moment, we know of two persons who will attend. Anyone else?
• We cut our April newsletter a little short just to get it out there. apologies for any typos, etc that may be lurking. We thought the extra cartoons might be some recompense. The May newsletter is already in the works and will be a bit better (we hope).
• We're still three flats short of completing the great tomato transplant of 2009. Once done with that - we work on the peppers and eggplant. hm.
• The ground is now workable - so Rob will be in the field all day working it. Another natural deadline (rain) is due Tuesday night according to forecasters.
• GFF will be at the Waverly Farmers' Market with tomato plants, maybe a little lettuce and what ever else looks good this Saturday from 8:30-11:30. Peppers are 1 to 2 weeks behind tomatoes.
  
• Rob was at market on Saturday, but only to work with the other vendors on the 2009 market setup for the season. Tammy was at the Health Fair holding a table to represent the farmers' market there.
• Heard our first wren at the farm today. Now awaiting the arrival of bluebirds and Waldo (the oriole).
• The Freedom Ranger chicks are settled now. That brings us to 200 chicken chicks and 10 turkey chicks. The bronze turkeys come this week.

And, there you have it - a summary of stuff! Enjoy.
