The Land is Calling

The snowpack is gone while the chill isn't but the grass begins to grow as the deer return to the field. The germination are in the cabin attic is always full, while more and more flats move out to the greenhouse to spend warm days in the sun and cool nights under frost fabric inside the dome.
And now the prep work for spring really begins. The winter electrification of the hen huts will be removed. The old plant material from last years' crops will be cleared from the rows. All while tending to the tender and changing needs of the baby plants that fill the many seed flats.
This is the season of anxiety and excitement when the crush of the season hasn't hit full speed so the mind can still dwell on the possibilities and potentials. My own mind and heart hears the call of spring as my hopes and fears for the coming season begin their own germination, for the land is calling and it awaits my reply.

Freedom!!! Let's boogie!

The old tomato vines are starting to get cleared! It's a fresh start for the Dragon Dome, with more to go!

It was just in the knick of time too, as more seedlings had to graduate to the dome to make space for many more flats to germinate in the warm, cozy cabin attic. The pipes exist to help get water to the bottom of the raised beds but also help to hover the frost cloth above the tender baby plants!

Rub a dub dub, two hens in a tub!

The more the hens are outside, the more comfortable they are exploring all the little places, like under the Hawthorne/Chokecherry bramble behind the barn.

When the sun is shining but the air is still crisp, Hella's favorite space is in the greenhouse where it's toasty and warm!

The snowpack is gone and the land is calling! Time to start cleaning the beds, moving tarps, and getting ready to say hello to all the friends we've missed during the winter, like the earthworms, tiny grubs, ants, ladybugs, and all their soil-dwelling relatives!
