Woke up to a couple of inches of fresh snow this morning (the picture is from last night just before dark). This is a good reminder that it is too early to plant vegetable outside yet; no matter how nice it has been in the past few weeks.
BUT....it is time to plant Christmas trees so I went to Weyerhauser to pickup seedlings and managed to lock my keys in the pickup when I stopped to get some milk. Several hours later and several dollars shorter I arrived home to snow still on the ground, think planting Christmas trees needs to wait until drier weather. For now it's back to the greenhouse; lettuce, broccoli, kale and spinach are coming up along with something else I forgot to mark, but it is too little to tell what it is. Sometime in April we shold have a small spring basket for the CSA subscribers.
There are still 2 more spots open for CSA if you are considering signing up. Contact me for more information on prices and what is included in the CSA subscriptions.
We got our first batch of babies for the spring. 5 Cochin chickens. Turkeys come in a couple of weeks and then hopefully a few ducks if I can find them. All the peeping is cute, but not in the middle of the night when you're trying to sleep.
