Well, it has been a very long time since the author of this blog has posted anything at all. Being called to task for it, I have decided no procrastinate no longer, though I don't have any pictures to put on at the moment. We are still here, and it is no longer snowing. We did have a frost the night before last, but we are hoping it will be the last one until fall.
Yesterday we started planting our garden. It was supposed to have been smaller this year, but when it came time to till, Jason brought over the tractor instead of firing up the rototiller. Now the garden is three times the size it was last year! We plan to fill a lot of the space with gourds and pumpkins, though. Yesterday we planted a zillion sweet corn seeds, 39 tomato plants, three rows of onion sets, and a dozen sweet pepper plants.
I would write more, but I have to go outside and plant more seeds in the dirt. Today, after yesterday's experience, I have decided to wear sunscreen. (That is for you, Lisa!)

we're moving to a house next month and i hope to get a square foot garden going again shortly thereafter. maybe some late season tomatoes. mmmm....
Sarah! You read my blog on the first day I've posted for months! Thank you! I feel loved now. I hope you have a lot of fun with your garden. Last year, we planted ours almost immediately after moving in, and the planting and weeding were very therapeutic after the stress of the move. Are you moving far?
Yea!!!! You are back online with news! You do know that some of us check every day to see if there is anything new, don't you? Glad you took the time. We LOVE hearing about your adventures on the farm! Hugs to all the little farmers!
