Wow what a change in the weather! Last week it was snowing and today it reached almost 30 degrees Celsius! Suddenly summer. The farm is starting to green up, the daffodils have blossomed and we love eating outside again without our coats on!
This past weekend the deer fence had it's major Spring maintenance. Thank goodness that's over with. My hands are in agony and I don't want to even look at another pair of pliers. Ongoing maintenance will be keeping the grass under the wires cut. My plan is to mulch all the brush that's accumulated and line the area around the fence so it will save me some backbreaking labour.
Now that the fence is set it's time to plant the garden. I've started planting my first bed with radishes. Tomorrow I'll start moving the Brassicas up including Brussels Sprouts, Kale, Broccoli, plus Lettuce and Onions. While pulling out some of last year's roots I was amazed at how many worms there were. In just one 4 inch spot I counted 12!
Another wonderful surprise was the frogs have woken up and I've been serenaded with their mating calls. I love living in the country.
