Muddy, muddy mess
I mentioned in my last post that I love the snow. What I don’t love is the mess that large amounts of snow leave behind on the farm when it melts. What a muddy mess! I’m not sure which is worse, slipping and falling on ice or slipping and falling in mud. Feeding the animals is a bit messy at the moment, but the pigs seem to be enjoying digging around in it and the ducks and geese love the muddy puddles left behind.
I am getting antsy at this point to begin planting. I have placed the first seed order of the season and have several more to do. Thanks to those who have already signed up for our CSA program, we have the funds available to take advantage of some early ordering discounts. That’s a large part of the purpose behind a CSA and we sincerely appreciate all of you who participate. Within just a few weeks it will be time for me to begin planting the seeds in the basement under grow lights and heaters and I can’t wait! When green things start to sprout I’ll be sure to post some pictures.
Until next time. ~ Karin
