“Little Plastic House”
Flowerbed Pyrotechnics
Bill will burn our native grass pasture in mid-April. More on this pyrotechnic task later and with pictures!
Finally, after one of the severest winters in recent history, we're seeing signs of spring! However, we are having a little winter relapse today, but forecasters promise a return to spring-like temps the rest of the week. We've started some of our early spring activities on the farm. “Little Plastic House” Bill constructed his "little plastic house,” which is a miniature temporary greenhouse, made out of 4 pieces of heavy wire shoved into the ground to form an arch and covered with thick plastic mended with duct tape. The four sides of the plastic are anchored in the ground by wrapping 2x2 boards in the ends and covering with dirt. A slit is cut in the plastic to allow watering and prevent condensation. Bill planted lettuce, spinach and Swiss chard. We should be enjoying tasty salads and chard by early to mid-April. |
