What's Up With The Weather?

Well, all the vegetables in the field were doing exceptionally well until....the April 5 & 6th freeze. We're hoping they will pull through and still be alright. We were busy all day on Saturday the 4th putting up row cover to protect as much as we could. It just goes to show you....God is still in control. I think He likes to keep us humble! No problem there!!!! The tomatoes and bedding plants are doing great and we're gearing up for the first market on Thurs. the 30th at BriarCliff Village. The men of the family have been chopping wood for the last of these freezes to keep the greenhouses warm and preparing the fields in between drenching rains. We're also constantly doing erosion repair, not by choice though. The children are getting antsy and are ready for nice weather to go play in. It seems they keep getting teased with warm then cold all the time. It will be here before we know it though. Old Man Winter can't hold on forever.
