Well, most of the garden is in, I'm just waiting a few more days to plant the heat-lovers. And the kids get their own small section each to plant a mixed packet of stuff, which they love to do. Last year they planted seeds by the handful (one handful per hole), and it somehow worked really well. The oregano and lavender are going great guns, and my started seedlings are getting huge. As an aside, I made a very inexpensive greenhouse out of an old plant stand and a $2 plastic drop sheet from Canadian Tire, if any of you start your own plants.
Hurray for warm weather and sunshine!
We've also got my sister's horses here (
Megan Kraus Thoroughbreds) and one of them is a very cute filly born in February, she likes to practice for racing in her field. The pony likes the grass that's finally out for her to eat, the rabbits are happy, and the chicks and ducklings are growing quickly. Always lots to do!
I'm going to start posting recipes around the end of June when the first pick-up / market days will be; shareholders, you will get a paper copy in your basket, don't worry!
