Farm Happenings

Weather: OMG

Heard Recently: “It’s raining, it’s snowing, there’s no corn growing….” It did snow here on Monday. The sun came out on Tuesday, after a long hiatus.

Worthy of Note: From Wendell Berry: “Don’t pray for the rain to stop. Pray for good luck fishing when the river floods.”

Activities on the Farm: The greenhouses are chock full of stuff. We are holding a whole bunch of plants outside until the ground dries out. Cleaning and prepping equipment continues apace. The tomatoes went into the unheated greenhouses just ahead of last week’s cold snap, but they seem to be doing fine. We repaired most of the barn doors, many of which have spent way too much time flapping in the wind. The Singing Hammers crew also widened the doors to the upstairs of the barn where we park the tractors, so that we can now park every tractor we own in the barn (if you had told me twenty years ago that I would ever say something like, “every tractor we own,” I would have said you were crazy.).
