Spring is really here, and we're seeing lots of changes on the farm.
Lots of late-afternoon transplanting parties, direct seeding into the ground, a new outhouse, excessive amounts of dandelions, I can wear shorts...
The most noticeable change by far though is the GREEN that is creeping up the hillsides. It's a process called 'greening up'. We've been hearing about it for the past two weeks, but in the last few days we've actually been seeing it. Looking to the south was spectacular before due to the view of the Alaska Range. Nowadays we get the scenic range with a brilliant burst of green below it.
This also means... two weeks til salad!! Green stuff! Oh how we have missed it.
It's amazing to imagine this in mid-May. Especially since here in the East, we had an extremely early Spring and most of our Spring flowers have come and gone! Would love to see a picture of the range....
