Spring is always entertaining. It's often a series of false starts with fits of sun, raging winds and trampling rains. Those of us living in New England are pretty accustomed to these shananagans and buffer ourselves. The period of heat and sun we recently got managed to dry our our field sufficiently enough to till, can you believe it?!
Perennials like chives, rhubarb and sorrel have started there revival and my mind starts to jump ahead, planning the next tasks to undertake.
In the passively heated greenhouse which is acting as a cold frame right now, you'll find lettuces, leeks and assorted brassicas. With a bit of luck we'll have some early substantial vegetables come May.
The chickens also enjoy the tilling. They are grateful for the return of insects to their diet. Who else is happy about the return of spring? Why our silly goats, as illustrated here with a quick frolicking roll...
