Even though astronomically speaking it is now officially spring, the weather man seems determined to tell us otherwise. Or maybe its Mother Natures early April Fool's day joke. The cold weather that is haunting Sandwich,NH might possibly bring the sugaring back for a day or two! If that does not happen and the cold air still comes in, there is not much planting we can be doing except in trays that stay in the house. Stephen and I are able to keep busy with the routine maintenance of the farm like cleaning the barnyard up and lifting the garden shed up off the ground with the tractor and putting beams under it to save it from the usual wear of time and water flowing under all summer long. The whole washing station area next to it is now completely raised up and ready for summer to come and with that endless hours of washing.
However! The plants in the ground seem impatient to come out and are popping out all over the place! The garlic(as seen in the picture!) has already come up several inches!
Don't forget there is plenty of syrup for sale in the sugar house as well as fresh picked spinach that overwintered just beautifully!
