3 weeks (almost)

sara here! sorry for not blogging sooner. Jared Has been out on tour for almost 3 weeks now, and I’ve been going it alone. It’s funny how you think that you’ll have sooo much time, I mean, 3 weeks, right? well, best laid plans…
the first week was rainy, it rained, POURED for 3 out of the first 5 days, and then the winds came. They blew out the rain, but also everything else. One of our canopies is now out of commission, both of our chicken houses were damaged, and the plastic over the melons at the lincoln property just doesn’t want to stay on. The day it happened I was out on a CSA delivery, so suffice to say chickens were everywhere when I got back. I believe I recovered all of them, but a number of broccoli plants fell victim to the chickens. Gotta love those silly birds!
Now it’s sunny and warm, and the crops are loving it! The weeds were encouraged by the rain, so I’ve been working to get them out, and between that and harvesting for the markets, and CSA’s there hasn’t been much time for anything else. In the remaining time I have left I plan on tilling/cultivating and transplanting as much as I can. Hopefully I can get all the peas out of our last greenhouse and get the rest of the eggplant and peppers in. We’ll see how it goes!  Off to it! I hope to figure out how to get my camera phone pictures uploaded so we can finally have some pictures back on! I also enjoyed our first ripe tomato the other day! delish!!
