Wet weather and earthday

For some reason winter weather just won’t go away here on the central coast.  It rained all last week and rain is in the forecast again this week, not making it easy for prepping soil and planting warm weather crops.  Luckily for me the land I am farming is sandy loam and drains fast enough so even with the rains I have been able do some tractor work and get most everything I planned on in the ground.

The Earthday festival I participated in last week went great.  It was a huge event and my booth was in a section called “harvest to home” that was themed all around local food.  I met a lot of great people in the area that are doing similar things as myself, good contacts and networking stuff.  I think this local food movement is all about everybody working together as opposed to competing and that was definitely the vibe at earthday.  I handed out over a hundred CSA brochures, met many potential members, and even had a couple people sign up on the spot.

Other than that all is good here at Ellwood.  Here are some photos, enjoy.
