king of spring

Who takes a four month hiatus from blogging? Me! My reasons are as follows.....
1. I am still deciding whether or not I actually have the time/inclination to follow through (off to a really bad start you say!)
2. More projects have consumed our lives in the past few months than I thought possible
3. It was still winter!
But now- temperatures in the high 60's, low 70"s, sunny blue skies, and it is time to crawl out of our comfort zone and BEGIN!

So a few projects are unfolding....
The tiller has been fixed and the beds have been turned under.
The chickens have been unleashed on the bug population in the beds, while adding to the fertilizer.
Approximately one ton of aged manure has been transferred and worked in to the beds (primarily by the 12 year old minion who lives here)

And so, the planting has begun in earnest! We have laid down radishes, lettuces and we have some volunteer goodies reappearing. The cilantro is out of this world!

Aforementioned minion appears here!
