Posting, one, two, three . . .

It has been a busy spring, so I haven't been posting much. But I am bringing the camera out into the field today, so we will see what we can find. We have some golf ball sized melon fruits, some new potatoes and snap peas that are flowering, and we should have honest to goodness real broccoli ready to harvest for market this coming week.

The big picture farm update around here is your classic good news/bad news situation. The good news is that we are way ahead of where we were last year in terms of production, markets, infrastructure, and efficency. The bad news is that we still have an awful long way to go, and an awful lot to learn. Already I can see how we could improve a lot of things for next year. But I suppose that will be the case every year.

In the meantime, it is one of those beautiful Vermont days up here -- sunny, 80 degrees, dry. So I guess it is time to get to work!
