Signs of Spring .4

Now we are at the most improbable sign of spring - at least in the form for gardens are indeed underway. But what sets this apart is that I am now farming. Yup. (That’s farmer talk for yes) I - who have not grown anything other than a few herbs in a pot at someone’s request, now have a pretty big spread. I am farming more than 16 square feet. I installed a raised bed that is 8 by 2 and 17 inches deep and filled it according to my choice of many YouTube videos that all purport to be the very best way. Not sure which one i picked. Anyway I have quite a crop started. There are Tomatoes both in the tub and in an auxiliary field :), lettuces, chard, spinach, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and strawberries. Certainly by summer you will find me at the local farmers market vending all my produce to hungry customers.

Perhaps this ought to have been posted on 4/1.
