Thursday Jan 19 ---- Getting closer! This Spring like weather is wonderful. It has us motivated and excited about the upcoming season. The plants seem to be cautiously responding with a small amount of growth. Today we are going to work on installing two inflatables for the kids to jump on - should be interesting. The temperatures look mild for the next week, will we have an early season??????? our weather changes so that February might turn out colder than January so who knows. We will be opening in March, soon we will be able to say if it is early or late March.
Friday Jan 6 ---- The weather this week has been amazing! I have tried in the past not to talk about the weather so much but I just can't help it. Everything we do here has something to do with the weather. I have now started looking at five different weather forecasts each day - watching for cold weather headed our way. We want to make sure the Strawberry plants do not go below 15 degrees in the month of January, 32 degrees in February. We have started making sand bags to hold the covers down. Getting the covers out will be next. My mother is busy pulling weeds in amongst the plants (I did not ask her to! that is her own doing (bless her heart, Love you Mom)). Soon we will get the whole family out there (gotta get some work out of the girls before they go back to college), if you hear weeping and gnashing of teeth you will know I asked them to go pull weeds. And just so you know, I have already done a bunch of rows by myself.
The onions we planted in December are struggling. They always look bad after planting though and should pull out of it.
