Spring is beginning here on the farm. Even though the temperatures are still chilly, the sun is high in the sky, and the birds are starting to sing. Last Thursday we put packets of seeds in our backpacks, grabbed some rakes, and headed out on our snowshoes down the hill to the high tunnels in the lower fields. We rolled out our "Jang" push-seeder out over the frozen fields down with us. Inside, it was almost 80º in our unheated high tunnel, "Thunder!" We opened up the vents and let in the fresh air. It felt great to be soaking in the sun's rays, not to mention the thrill of putting seeds in the ground in February! The season begins, and may it be a great one!
