Hmmmm

So, we haven't posted in a while. We started this blog about 4 years ago, and this is probably the longest we have ever gone without posting. Of course, we aren't as bad as some people. But there isn't really a conscious reason for this hiatus -- we just haven't gotten around to it, and now we are getting to it.

It has been a good winter -- no new children and no back surgery, like we had last year. My back was bothering me this fall, but seems to be on mend now.

These days, I am working on the field plan for 2007. Parsnips, pumpkins, gourds, and new tomato, beet, onion, asian greens, and melon varieties are on tap. And more corn, corn, corn and tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes. It is an exciting time of year. Plus, this year, we are going to try [warning: pdf] to graft our greenhouse tomatoes for more vigor and disease protection.

It is also farm conference season. We went to NOFA's Direct Marketing Conference last weekend, and it was great. Plus, NOFA-VT's Winter Conference is coming up, and it is always a blast.

Have fun enjoying the winter that finally decided to show up!

P.S. We are taking down the comments temporarily. The software platform we use, Moveable Type, is good, but it is vunerable to comment spam attacks that can substantially slow the server that hosts us. A fix to this problem is in the works, and when the fix is up and going, we will bring the comments back.
