Ok. Some pictures from the past weeks are here.





Tulips are almost gone by now.
So long, first brilliant pallete!

Makes me want to travel to Holland.




Lots of digging in the dirt.

Broadforking
Shoveling
Raking


Trying to use tiller as little as possible. Aka Getting a work-out.


Note the hoops in this picture: the start of an experimental caterpillar house for tomatoes and delicate cut flowers.



In my excitement at the prospect of strawberry-rhubarb pie,


I snapped off a rhubarb stalk the other day and heartily bit in.

Spit out.
Where's the honey when you want some?



Sheep are a great addition to the farm system here.


On loan from a family in Warner, the 5 young rams will be here through June, and then it'll just be the ewes.





Yay for pooping machines!













Tomatoes in hoophouse are happy.











Ack! More seedlings!

Our friend just got a broadfork, too. Do you find that using it for a large garden area is manageable?

Not much happening in our garden except very large garlic, lots of weeds, and some mixed greens that are about ready. We're planning some large-scale workings-over tomorrow.

Nice to see some new pictures!
