I couldn’t help it. I had to leave the house to go outdoors and turn a bed. This year it seems like it is taking quite a bit longer for our soil to dry out. I wonder whether its:
a. We aren’t in a rush because we aren’t doing the regular CSA
b. It’s wetter
c. We’ve been gone so much we missed the dry windows?
I am pretty sure it’s a combination of all a-c but I am getting so antsy to plant! We’ve gotten a little done but the major planting hasn’t happened yet. I am hoping for Conner’s bday on Monday we can plant together! I am sure he’d love to spend a few hours on the tiller to celebrate ; )
Aside from a greenhouse full of baby plants and a movable chicken coop full of baby chickens- things here are going slow and steady. No luck finding land yet but please spread the word to all your rural friends! I thought financing was going to be the hardest part but I am starting to rethink that….There is a serious shortage of land out there that has water rights. When all we want to do is grow food and we can’t find land to do it I get pretty upset seeing acres and acres dedicated to nursery production and grass seed. Luckily I feel pretty strongly that the place will find us. There’s a connection out there just waiting to be made.
Meanwhile, we are appreciating where we are (the dry weather helps) and hoping to get some plants growing!
