Spring is Already in Bloom on the Farm
There are so many beautiful signs of early spring on the farm. We have lots and lots of daffodils in four different varieties. One is very full and ruffled. We have showed it to some florists around town and they have never seen them before. Looks like another project, dig them up, divide them and replant them in new, weed free beds for next year.
We have had a good spring so far and although we canβt say the weeds are under control we can say we are making real progress. We are adding compost to the peonies, realigning the weed fabric weeding and getting ready to spread wood chips in the aisles.
As we remove the weeds, we are seeing a lot of buds, it is a beautiful sight!

We had a good year! We would like to thank all of our harvest helpers, Sara, Jessica, Ethan, Larry, Janet and of course our Numero Uno, Jesus!

Denise and I arrived at 3 on Wednesday, 10/4/17. The weather was clear and the air was crisp and it felt wonderful. At 4, UPS showed up with a big smile and 500 tulips.
All these buds will be beautiful peonies one of these days. The weather here has been cool and windy so things seem to be moving slowly.
We will continue laying down the last of the weed barrier cloth and try to keep up with the constant march of the ever growing weeds.
Keeping up with the weeds and posts is challenging, but we have an excellent new member of the team that is helping things move along.
Take off all that dead grass, thatch off, and what do you get? Peony buds! Only a couple hundred to clean off without snapping off the buds.
Team Inevitable! Triplets make our work three times less overwhelming. Oliver is definitely NOT a team player.
