Apologies

Sorry I haven't been posting much! Things have been busy. We are changing our garden area this year and I am very excited about it. We haven't been able to work the garden in Spring the last two years because of all the rain, which meant that we couldn't plant everything we wanted to or things went in late, so I am making raised beds using the layering method called Lasagna Gardening. I hope to have all of the beds ready this Fall so all I will have to do is stick the seeds and plants in the ground come Spring when there is an opening in the weather.
The lettuce and spinach in the cold frames is coming along well. I encourage everyone to try this! It is wonderful to eat fresh greens in the winter, and just as soon as the weather starts to change in the early Spring, it will take off like you wouldn't believe. You will have tons before you normally would have even planted them. It is weed and bug-free gardening!
We are considering buying a horse to help with the plowing and such. We have one in mind but are trying to dig out the barn that flooded two years ago first. We haven't been able to use the barn since. We kept thinking it would stop raining and dry out so we could work on it but that hasn't been the case. We think we are going to have to take part of the outside off and somehow dig out the mud and then raise it up. So, I'll let you know how that goes. The work on the milking parlor came to a screeching halt because of (you guessed it!) several more inches of rain last week, but the rain has stopped now and it is supposed to be nice this weekend. I'll keep you posted on that too!
Hope all of your endeavors are going well and that you are taking the time to enjoy each moment.
