An apology, of sorts

Sorry we have been so lame about posting lately. There is, however, an explanation.

What happens in the spring up here is that we need to wait and wait and wait for the ground to thaw, and then for it to dry out, before we can work it and do our spring planting. So for a while, we are just checking the weather, checking the soil, and sipping coffee.

And then one day comes when we decide that it is warm and dry enough to start plowing and prepping beds. And it is on that day that we wish we were able to plow and prep all our land, plant out all our seedlings, and direct seed all our direct seeded crops, all at once. So for the last week or two we have been busy trying to go from zero to 60mph, overnight. It has been fun, but a lot of work.

There is so much to catch up on blog-wise that we are going to try to do so over the next few days. For starters, here are some pictures of Maryellen and Waverly prepping beds this morning.

First, Wavo and I had to fix something on our homemade bedformer device thingy.

Then this is Maryellen on the Deere, using our homemade bedformer device thingy.

And here is Wavo on her Deere, putting the final touches on things.
