Transplanting Tomatoes

We transplanted tomatoes this past week.   A lot of work.  We chisel plow, then rototill, then dig trenches, fill trenches with a layer of alfalfa pellets, then compost, then cover and transplant    The tomatoes benefit greatly from the effort.   

Also, we added a heater and circulating fans this year thanks in part to a grant from the mill city market next stage grant program;  I'm sure glad to have it these cold nights.  Thank you everyone who contribute to the fund and thank you all who buy our tomatoes.   ... I think I found some flower buds forming today.

The rhubarb is progressing nicely and I expect to have a bit of it by Mother's Day weekend.   

This coming weekend,  April 24,  I'll be at the market with honey,  sweet breads and sourdough

Dutchman's breaches / compost time

Busy time of year, also beautiful and new each day.  I do my best to get out to the woods every day.
There's a market this weekend.  April 10 ... mill city market 
 I'll be there with breads, honey and probably some ginger snap cookies!
