Greenhouse Love

3/8/2010

Today is a day to become fully in the greenhouse. To LOVE the greenhouse again. Not hard because that is one of my favorite parts of what we do. It has its distinct place in the cycle of the season. The greenhouse in late June for fall planted cabbage is not the joy that the greenhouse in early March is. Everything has a time and place in the cycle of the year and in the whole picture of the farm. This year it seems like a bit of a mental push to get there consistently right now. Because of all the snow. And cold and grey and cold temps. Running water down there is hoses seemed less possible last week.

But yesterday & this morning, despite the grey & the cool still & yet again, there were red-winged blackbirds. That's it. They know. It's time.

    scratchin' dirt
    here & now

    There's a lot more to scratching dirt (farming) than it looks like from the road, from the lane, from the grocers' shelves, from the restaurant table. It's a calling with joys, travails & curiosities that we NEVER imagined in our wildest dreams!
