The sun is shining and I see honey bees and a lovely orange butterfly in the garden. They are feeding on the broccoli flowers and enjoying the warm air.It is always nice to have something blooming in the garden for our pollinating friends. Today the High Schoolers potted-up chamomile, which is not only a lovely herb to look at, but beneficial to the garden and good medicine for people too.
Hail made a mess of the broccoli and chard which are torn and broken. A gopher has gotten into the hoophuse and is on a rampage through the lettuce.The hoop is also flooded since it sits at the bottom of the garden. It could be worse.
We have pleny of lettuce and spinach for the cafeteria and some veggies to share with volunteers but not much extra to sell. Sorry, no farm stand his week.
The Eco Farm conference was very inspiring. I got to see many heroes of the organic farming movement and learned a great deal about the successes and accomplishments of the movement here in the USA. It was affirming to meet other garden educators and non profits working toward a healthier food system. I came home renewed and inspired and excited.
Wishing it was Spring already,
