Check out the new feature in the sidebar- regular updates by email. About time! Things here are still moving slow. I am amazed to see the sun out this afternoon. We, like many other farmers and gardeners, are getting a little antsy about all this wet cold weather. Our greenhouse over at Naomi’s is full of great starts. I’ve been feeling a bit bad about having all the summer crops out for sale but everyone gets so excited about spring gardening that they’ve been insisting we put them out. So far the start sales have been doing pretty well. Everytime we’re out there we learn something new. A major lesson has been go WAY bigger than you thought you’d need. We’ve quickly run out of space in the greenhouse so we’ll see how the plan changes for next year.
As far as the farm hunt goes- slow and steady. As the weather warms and property looks nicer more and more places get listed. It doesn’t seem like we are being that picky ( we just want land and water) but it definitely is going to take a while. A local farmer mentor of ours recently told us it took her 5 yrs to find her piece of land. We’re being patient and we both trust that the right place will come along….life always seems to work itself out like that.
In the meantime we’re going to watch the soil dry and twiddle our thumbs ; ) Happy planting (I hope).
i have greenhouse envy. if you do decide to go bigger next year, maybe we can buy yours to help subsidize the cost of a bigger one.
