Making Progress with Planting and Mulching

Over the weekend Charles was able to lay a bunch of the plastic mulch for our plants to be transplanted into soon. Then it started to rain, so that gave him a day or two in the greenhouse to get more plants ready to be transplanted!

Thank goodness for the pretty days we can get out in the field, and thank goodness for the rainy days that force us to get into the greenhouse and get more seeds in trays. Sometimes if it's sunny for too many days in a row, we get behind in our greenhouse work. And vice versa when it's rainy, we get behind in our field work.

Such is the life of a farmer, though, we're at the mercy of the weather - big time! Who needs a one-armed bandit when you have mother nature to gamble with?

Keep the warm weather coming!

Oh, these 50 degree days are sure nice! Makes us think of spring, and planting, and GREEN! I think the sunlight provided us all with enough Vitamin D today to boost our spirits for a week or so. T'will be nice when the mud dries up, and we can get in our fields and start planting some seeds and seedlings.

Charles moved the last of the strawberry plants from the greenhouse today, so all of them are in the tunnel. Now we have lots of room in the greenhouse for more plants! Things are growing nicely on these warm sunny days, though we have to be careful to open the tunnels and turn on the fan in the greenhouse because things really heat up in the sun.

So, keep the warm weather coming!
