Howdy! Well let me tell you that the warm and hot weather have arrived this week. At the farm this was the first time I actually wore a short sleeve shirt the whole week. The Daffodils are out as you can see in the picture to the left so you know it's ready for a good time. This week on the farm we had pretty much caught up with all the "to-do's" as Michael told me so that just led us to making sure all the beds were well weeded. So, I got to continue my favorite activity of weeding along with many of the volunteers that came out to experience the warm weather. I also made sure to keep on eye on my tomato babies to make sure they had everything they needed to prosper. I kept them well watered and I ended up having a GREAT overall germination of both varieties that I planted. It was around a 95% germination rate between the 35 seeds that I ended up planting. Now I am just waiting for them to get a little bigger so that I can transplant them into their bucket homes, so that they can live happily ever after. Or at at least that is the plan, but I believe they will do really well. Then of course, I had to add another picture of the massive amounts of Blue Bonnets that we have blooming right now because they are just beautiful! Had a great, warm week at the farm and I hope it continues. Thank you for everyone that came out to help at the farm this week!
