Sorry it's been a week since last posting. We've been busy covering and uncovering things! But hopefully the last of the cold spells are over with! One can hope can't they? I thought I'd post a few pictures of what we did. Maybe we didn't need to do as much as we did, and maybe it helped, who knows, but I don't think we had any major damage. Not all the peach trees were in bloom yet, and the apples have yet to bloom, so there should be some fruit, we'll just have to wait and see how much! As you can see in the back ground of the picture the row cover we tried to put over a few of the peach trees tore in two and blew off! These things in the foreground are some of our blueberries. That is one of our dogs, Shadow. If you ever come out to the farm, he's the one who'll jump the fence to greet you! He loves to jump and bark, but wouldn't hurt a flea!
Last Friday, Greg got some more greens, radishes, etc. planted outside at the end of one of the potato beds we didn't get filled up. The last two nights we've been transplanting tomato plants out in the big hoop house. Think we'll get those finished up tonight. If it would dry up we could get more done, but sounds like more rain in the forecast for Friday night and Saturday morning!
It's always fun to go to market in the rain! We've been going to the Columbia market on Saturday mornings. We still don't have much produce, but we have jams & jellies, dried tomatoes, dried apples, honey ointment, eggs, and baked goods. I'm really desperate to get rid of eggs!!!!! We are getting 12 dozen a day, so have to go to market to try to get rid of them, and bake with them, but not making much of a dent!
