Vegetable voyeur! Tony and Lizz harvest kale in the hoop house. 
What even happened this week? For one thing, it became spring. Those warm molecules touching my skin made me remember how welcoming the world can be after months of bitter, singeing cold.

For another thing, working with the crew has been wonderful. The week blurred together into one great conglomerate of accomplishment. A lot of the field clean up, long overdue from last fall, got checked right off the list. We managed to get the new hoop house prepped for planting. And we prepped our new herb area! Tucked in the microclimate between hoop house one and hoop house two, perennial herbs like rosemary, thyme, and sage will thrive! (we hope)

We also got some tractor work in. We prepared the field that we now call New Jersey, because its shape bears likeness to the state. In the picture you are looking from North Jersey. Tomorrow, if all goes according to plan, we will be planting our first round of kale and cabbage, straight into North NJ!!! 

Yesterday I went to the NRCS office and talked to our agent. He is helping us with a fertility management program. I learned a few things about managing our fields and interpreting our soil tests and, he even agreed to come out and look at our soil tests this fall and help us make some decisions about how to best support our soils!

And on top of all that, let me say again, spring y'all, spring.

See you at Market!!!!

We shall call this field "New Jersey" because of its striking resemblance.

Obviously, a lot of people are happy with the end of winter season as the spring season made its entrance already. People felt like they can do more things that are within their schedules that is why they are happy that the season has finally come! Just like you, you see this as the perfect opportunity for you to have ample amount of time to your farm. You can plant, sow, and do all the planned stuff you had because you see this as the perfect season to do it! I couldn't be happier with that!
