The Farm is waking up. The fields are spread with aged compost and Jeff is beginning to till in the rye cover crop on some of the drier areas. It may look empty but the black soil is teaming with life under the surface! By the end of February the entire seeding schedule and land use plan will be in place for the entire season. Planting starts the first week of March, less than three weeks away. In April, the nursery opens with its starts of herbs and spring vegetables.
But tomorrow, February 10 marks the return of daylight; sunrise at 7:23am followed by sunset at 5:24pm. 10 hours of daylight. Spring is only weeks away.
