Godspeed you, blue farm truck. We sure did have some fun. (Details on the blog: link in bio.) #allthingsmustpass
Here's a little shot of spring for you on this cold, sunny Thursday afternoon. Last fall I had the presence of mind to prepare some end-of-season, deeply-discounted tulip bulbs for forcing, and am I ever glad I did! 🌷🌞🌷😃🌷
The last of the seed order arrived in today's mail, so now it's on to checking the packing lists, organizing the packets by plant families, and then tucking them all away in gasketed storage containers to keep them safe and sound until they're needed in the greenhouse later this spring. Seeds and plants are the second largest line item in the farm's budget--exceeded only by labor--so it pays to take extra good care of them. Not to mention that these seeds embody generations of farmers and gardeners passing along this genetic heritage and, so, ought to be treated with reverence. #aplaceforeverything #andeverythinginitsplace

"I have planted by the stars in defiance of the experts,
and tilled somewhat by incantation and by singing,
and reaped, as I knew, by luck and Heaven's favor,
in spite of the best advice."

• Wendell Berry, "The Contrariness of the Mad Farmer"
