We are well into April and here on the farm, things are progressing as they should.

In the greenhouse – where most of the activity is happening – the vegetable, herb & flower seedlings are growing well.

Our plan was to begin transplanting tomatoes & peppers this week, but the very cold nighttime temperatures we’ve had convinced us to hold off. Because our greenhouses do not have heaters (so technically they are called hoophouses), they can get quite cold at night. Warmer temperatures next week will be better for the transplants.

In the field the garlic has popped through the straw.

The rhubarb is up and the sorrel is growing.

Blackberries are being pruned.

And around the yard the 1st spring flowers are in bloom.

Spring is always an exciting time for us.

And this year especially, with all the uncertainty in our world, when nothing seems normal or usual, we our thankful and take comfort in the farm coming to life.

Around the farm …

Heavy rain last week, together with some drainage issues downstream caused a bit of flooding (both on the farm and in our basement!), but by the next day this water had subsided.

Everyone is enjoying the coming of spring in their own way …

Lorie is recovering well after knee replacement surgery at the end of January. She is back on her feet and expects to be as good as new by the time CSA pick up rolls around 🙂
