Spring, everywhere but here
We won't plant a thing outside for two more months at least.
Life at the End of the Road on my favorite Scottish Island of Raasay, where I was once a regular at the Outdoor Center, is digging with his wifie in his garden and tinkering with his generator.
Musings from a Stonehead is turning over raised beds.
Throwback from Trapper Creek has green grass growing! I'm so jealous of that green grass!
And Colour it Green Diary is planting starts in her greenhouse. Ours is still snowed in.
But this too shall pass. It's now so light here in the evening that the chicken coop must be locked up for the night after dinner, not before.
But those snowbanks are still mighty big out there.

Welcome to our Farm Blog.
The purpose of this blog is for Aimee and I to communicate with friends and family, with those of our students, and other folks in general who are interested in homesteading and farming activities.
The earliest posts, at the very end of the blog, tell the story of the Great Farm, our purchase of a fragment of that farm, the renovation of the homestead and its populating with people and animals. Go all the way to the last post in the archive and read backwards from there to get it in chronological order.
After getting tired of spam comments (up to a dozen or more per day), I required commentators to be Google "registered users". You can write me at mwomersley@unity.edu if you have a serious comment or question and are not a registered user.
Spammers -- don't bother writing -- there's no way I will post your spam to my blog. Just go away.
Your planting season is somewhat around ours. I am in Northern Ontario, Canada. We don't get much in the way of planting until well after May 24th, depending on soil temperature. We have lots of snow still and the average night temperature still into -20 below. I so look forward to spring!
ReplyDeleteI know where are! You're where that awful cold air comes from!
ReplyDeleteWhat was it that they sang in the South Park movie: "Blame Canada!"
But it does keep the riff-raff away, six months of the year.
7-14 inches of snow heading our way for tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteApparently we're to get up to a foot of snow today too, but thus far there's none.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a weekend of hunkering down and digging out. Still, England vs. France in the Six Nations, live on BBC America at noon Saturday. For that, I can hunker happily. And by Tuesday it will be March.
