Beginnings, a continuation, and endings

full rain barrels and plants in waiting
Hurray for spring! The CSA will begin next Wednesday May 20th!
We have officially welcomed in the harvest season with working shareholders Emma and Dave. They came out to get their hands (and clothes) dirty last Friday and we shared a lunch of fresh picked spinach con queso burritos with homemade tortillas. Thanks Emma and Dave for helping us make the most of a (semi) dry day!

As the rain continues, we are appreciating our hilltop garden! Luckily for us, the garden has been draining well and we have not to had very much rain damage (only a few tomatoes were lost to the oversaturated soil). We are hoping for a week of dry weather so we can prepare more beds for transplaning cucumbers, squash, beans, more tomatoes, more lettuce, etc, etc, etc....

With the end of May comes the end of the school year. Bret and I will both be finishing the school year at Abintra Montessori and A New Leaf Preschool and are excited to have more time to spend in the garden!
