Things are growing

Hope you are having a good Memorial Day weekend!

It has been rainy and gray here, but that's great weather for planting and growing. The picture above is of one end of the field. The white strips are the remay covers that we pull over the wire hoops over the crops to protect them from frost. The ten day weather outlook makes it seem like we may be done with frost, but I will believe it when I see it.

Things are growing, growing, growing. The potatoes and green peas are up, we have some lettuce and broccoli and broccoli raab seedlings we transplanted in, and we are growing this gourmet Japanese spring turnip that actually tastes more like a big sweet radish. Plus arugula and tiny French string beans and baby yellow snap peas and carrots and onions, onions, onions. Tomorrow I start transplanting in the melons and tomatoes.

We had our first actual cash sale today! A bunch of tomato seedlings for $15. I know last week I said we had a sales call, but that person ended up buying some of the seedlings that we had donated to the church plant sale. So now we are starting to build our millions.

Maryellen made an exciting discovery while working on the house today, but I'll let her tell you about it.

Now we are going to re-watch the Fellowship of the Ring. We sure know how to party around here!
