23th of April and we are seeing signs of spring!  i’ve set the tomato and peppers out for a bit of fresh air, and they seem so happy to drink it in, a gentle breeze  tickles their leaves and stems!

We’ve got broccoli  and basil planted under the lights, kale, chard, garbanzo and quinoa, fennel, leeks, spinach, peas and potatoes in the garden…..whew…it’s actually a whirlwind around here.

Next week it looks like we’ll spread a nice bed of wood chips down and inoculate  them with mycelium spores, in hopes to see Garden Giants some months from now.  I’ve never attempted this before, and i’m so looking forward to witnessing what will happen.

Yesterday, for Earth Day, the kids took a group of folks through their garden and shared their experience with compost, horse manure and worms!  City kids turned farmers!!!  As a gift to all who attended, the kids handed out packages of seeds, Sunflower, Bush bean and Chard- all seed collected last harvest season here on the farm! The kids were so excited to share these seeds with others, so they can be planted in many places.   They we’re really excited about this part of the event.  I love working with them!

Happy spring!
