Our thermometer has said 35 degrees that last 2 mornings! Hopefully that will not be cold enough to damage the peach trees that are in bloom now! Greg got them sprayed on Friday evening as they have to be sprayed at bloom time. Noticed yesterday that the apple trees were also starting to bloom.

We planted a variety of peppers Sunday in the greenhouse; several varieties of bell peppers, marconi, banana, Jimmy Nardello's, Fushimi, Hershey, cayenne, jalapeno and green chile...Also planted Machiaw, Fairy Tale, Beatrice, Dusky, Black Beauty, Ichiban and Ghostbuster eggplant.

Our Spring break help went back to school yesterday. They will be greatly missed!

  1. Nice list of food plants there.

    Can you really get your WWU manure composted in a few months? A few years back I got 4 truckloads, and it took over a year. It took several to use it all up!

  2. We hope, it was amazing how much had already happened after the first turn the other day. Greg has a big tractor with loader that he can scoop it up and move it around, so hope to do that quite often. Plus we have lots of chicken manure to add to it.
