Greetings to my beloved members of the farm. It is bitter cold outside, the ground is frozen solid, and I am attending to inside business, but just two weeks ago spring came for a preview. We had a fabulous group of “Willing Workers on Local Farms” who came and spread compost on the vegetable garden. We spread about 100 yards of composted horse manure and garden clippings! I integrated it into the ground with the rototiller the next day so that the soil can begin to digest these nutrients so they will be available when we need them in the spring. That night we got a foot of snow and I woke with a tremendous sense of grace to have accomplished such a huge and important task so early. We are off to a great start!!! Seeds have been started and we’ll be planting in tunnels next week!
