Spring is in the Air!

Here on the farm it is the busiest time of the year. Everyone is coming and going every which way. One group is planting in the fields, another is discing, tilling and laying plastic and the other group is starting more seeds in the nursery greenhouse. We all work good as a complete team (family) when planting season really hits hard. We've been very fortunate about getting our vegetables out inbetween rains since we use plasticulture. Therefore, we have already been harvesting beautiful heads of lettuce. Collard greens, radishes, and pak choi are also being picked often. Markets are here and we are really having fun this year. My two oldest children, Jeff-21 and Shayla-19 have been doing a couple of markets for us. That sure lightens our load from having to leave home so often. God Bless them for it! We have also ventured out in our home town doing Providence Farms Prepaid Produce Packages. It has taken off quite well. We'll see how the next month of sign up time goes though. I've learned not to count my chickens before they hatch! If you see us at the markets just let us know if you have looked at this blog. There will be pictures on here in a week or so. I'm working on it, among other things!
