It's been another busy couple of weeks here at the farm. We began the first set of seeds, and are happy to announce that the arugula, kale, spinach, and lettuce have just popped their tiny heads above the soil surface. Another few weeks and they will be ready to go into the ground. These plants are cool loving, and can usually handle some dips in temperature (with a little help from row cover), giving them a nice early start in the season.
A new batch of strawberry plants, blueberry bushes, and asparagus crowns have just arrived at the farm, and we'll be working hard over the next few days to get them into the ground. Can't wait for these guys to take off!
Remember our little chicks? Well, here they are now at 4 weeks old.
Pretty amazing how quickly they grow isn't it? They've discovered "perching" and have made many entertaining yet unsucessful attempts to jump out of their pen to see if the grass really is greener somewhere else. Just be patient chickies...you still need that heat lamp! The barn wall has been successfully repaired, and we now turn our attention to building that cool room. Stay tuned for pictures as the project gets underway.
We hope everyone enjoys this last week of winter!
