Life could not be better!  We are over the HUGE! Spring planting hump and have arrived on the other side.  300 pounds of seed potatoes went in before the rains hit with the help of Scott’s extended family and Maeve away enjoying a fun vacation in Madison with Grandma. We thank all who helped out this busy week…..  Scott and I plugged along with the very fussy onion planting and over 3000 went in the next day and the day after that 1500+ leeks.  All by hand and all done…..phew!  We could still stand so 500 broccoli, 300 cauliflower, and 200+ more cabbage starts were transplanted and then we put a long row of swiss chard and kale transplants in too.  We were on a roll so we seeded in the next round of Spring turnips, and refilled the hoop house with leafy green transplants looking ahead to our main Summer Season that is around the corner.   The usual Spring Season flurry of activity.  We have been moving the tomato plants out of the greenhouse for a bit of fresh air and exercise and then back in again for the chilly nights.  It a lot of hauling but worth it as they are growing strong and huge.

Sweet and Storage Onions all transplanted.
