Well, well, well...

Geeze... Looks as if winter might be on its way out so...

Cleaned up the asparagus patch yesterday and fertilized it... We'll add a few more plants this year...

Our spinich and kale survive nicely under the 60 inches of snow we got this past winter and so we weeeded around those two rows and fertilized...

Tomorrow is "seed day"...

Looks like next Friday will be the best day for "mergal" (morelle mushrooms) hunting... Coolish and wet for the next 3 days and then 60's... That's mushroom weather...

We're going to put in about 30 criptomeria raticans along a old fence row that we took out to install our deer fence but also have a contract to furnish and plant 40 for a guy in Ohio who is moving here and needs a screen on the land he had bought...

Picked up a couple native azaleas outside of Ashville last week so we are closing in on having at least one of each of "x number" that exist...

Chicken litter (manure) has gotten scarce because new regs are not requiring it be cleaned out after each flock but I have a line of some anyway...

Tractor needs some work on the control valve for the front bucket --- both had a hard winter!!!

We have a monster stump pile to burn (10 feet high 25 feet wide and about 60 feet long)... Reckon you be able to see it on the Sputnik website when I light it...

That's about it...
