One minute there's just a whole field of dirt....empty greenhouse frames and mulched herb beds covered in black plastic. You look at it all and think...can we do this again? It seems like so much - to start from nothing every year and turn it into something big and alive and beautiful. Then you turn over the dirt and till and plow and start seed flats and transplant little seedlings into peat pots and little bit by little bit - it gets done...some pictures from this morning.
...and we were so anxious back in January and February - we planted WAY too many tomatoes. Before we knew it, we had all we could possibly put in the ground and many more. We put up a little sign..Tomatoes For Sale. I've sold 60 plants since yesterday. What were we thinking?
Today it is around 90 degrees. This not only means that it is hot...it also means you have to go out in the heat and drag hoses around and water stuff. No rain lately. That's farming, though.
