Well folks, the sugaring season is most likely coming to a close this week. While the weather for next week is predicted to be colder than this week, the buds are coming out on the maples and it will be a little to late. Have no fear though! For those among you who crave that ever so good Grade B maple syrup: we made some yesterday that is exceptionally tasty! (available in all sizes!)
Even though we are sad to have the sugar season go, this early spring means we can get a jump on planting in the greenhouses! Spinach, cutting lettuce, mesclun mix, onions, and leeks are in the greenhouses and already sprouting(photos coming soon!)
In true Far From the Madding Crowd (Thomas Hardy novel I highly recommend), today might be sheep shearing day. Time for those fluffy new moms to lose their winter coats and be (for one day at least) all shiny and white.
