The long weekend...

Today we harvested the first of our field spinach--if only the market started this week!  The bok choy, lettuce, broccoli, kale, and swiss chard are doing really well. The beans don't really seem to be growing, but we're hesitant to seed out more, in fear that they will all come at once and we'll have, like, 300 pounds of beans to deal with.
We're hoping to get some rain in the near future, the gardens are a bit dry.


All the animals are out on pasture.

All of the fruit trees are blooming.

I feel good!

  The Windsor Farmers' Market starts on June 2, the hours are from 9am-1pm.

The Merry Month of May

Not only has spring sprung, May has begun! April was a busy month; a vacation down south, transplanting, seeding, garden preparation, fencing, et cetera.

Yes, I did "the tourist thing" while in NY

The gardens are starting to come together nicely, we are postponing the planting of some things until it gets a little warmer, also until we get some rain (we have had an unusually dry spring).  So far we have planted peas, beets, beans, lettuce, lettuce mix, kale, Swiss chard, carrots, onions, bok choy, radish, spring turnips and broccoli.

The horses are out on pasture. We have one new male calf, Zamaree.
