Spring is Here

Went outside last night and could here frogs in the horse pond. Have been hearing an occasional croak, but this was a full chorus. The daffodils are also in bloom, so we have one more snow (it always snows on the daffodils) and then that will be it. Spring is coming much ealier than normal. The daffs don't normally bloom till later in March.

But this means garden season is almost here. Just finished planting early lettuce, spinach and a couple other cold crops in the greenhouse. Today we're working on finishing up building raised beds in the garden. I will take their temperature in a couple of days and maybe get some early peas in.

That makes this a good time to remind anyone who was interested in a CSA with us that there are 3 spots left for this year. I'll explain more about the CSA in a later blog. Or, you can check out that page on the website ( www.snowlinetreefarm.com ).

I smell banana bread, time to check the oven.
