Wonderfully busy
Thursday, May 17th, 2007
It is amazing how busy we get this time of year. Each week we have more to harvest for the restaurants. We have to keep up with weeding all the existing plants at the same time. We are still trying to get all the plants from the greenhouse into the fields - that is a huge job. We have two greenhouses that are truly full to maximum capacity with all the plants we started. I love growing all our plants from seed. There are few things in life that are as rewarding. To put a tiny seed in dirt and nurture it until it is big enough to go into the world is a beautiful thing. When they reach maturity and produce wonderful food to eat, the pride is overwhelming. People sometimes laugh when I refer to the plants as babies, but that is how it really feels. They thrive on love and attention to their needs. Plants in general are such amazing things. They do so much for us and our planet, we should all treat them with respect.
Thankfully we finally got some rain. We truly needed it. It had been so hot and dry lately it did not feel like May in Ohio! The rain has helped everything shoot up (including the weeds!) All the plants seem happier now.
The calf is growing so fast. She is still cute as can be. We are still trying to figure out the right name for her. Its not as easy to name a cow as it might seem.
