Spring is Here!

Kids learning the importance of growing their own food.

We may be jumping the gun a little, but when the weather warms up we go to the garden. We spent the afternoon cleaning raised beds, transplanting asparagus, planting spinach, onions, beets, lettuce and radishes. We are ready for the spring garden to start growing. I know, I know, there may still be a frost so the strawberries are still covered up with straw. I want to give a big thanks to Farmer Dave for spreading manure on the main garden and plowing it under. What a blessing it is to have him do that for us. If it isn't raining this weekend we'll be back out there planting peas and brussel sprouts and other cool weather vegetables.

The kids who came to the garden, planted bulbs, seeds and did general cleaning. But mostly they liked to run and play in the woods outside the garden. It is great to see them having fun outside in the fresh air. There is no better way to spend a beautiful Sunday afternoon than with friends and family working together. If there is anyone who would like to be part of our unity garden, feel free to contact me at claidig@oaksatsouthpaw.com.
