More Fantastic Weather

The weather continues to be glorious, and we're making the most of it, knowing rains will return. We went to the farm every day this week. Amber is looking over her crops here. Notice the cherry tree in the left background. Since this picture was taken on the 15th, the cherry has burst into full bloom.
The cabbages are heading up finally.
Rick and Catherine have been putting in a ton of work.
And Catherine demonstrates her new gloves.
The rouge gren lettuces are thriving.
Bill came and cut up the wood and stacked it all nicely.
I keep taking pix of the glen area, because it's so great looking right now with the forsythia all in full bloom and the nice thick green lawn.
And I'm already thinking about summer days whiled away in the tub.
Did I mention that the weather is glorous? Look... on St. Pat's day, it was 88 degrees.
I finally got the sign back up. I used shellac and glue (separately, not mixed!) to stabilize the old paint as well as I could.
And today, I took the chicks out for some fresh air and sunshine (and to let me clean and air out my bathroom!)
I planted a few more pots of both rouge gren and blushed butter lettuces this week, and put them right into the cold frame. I'm pretty sure it's warm enough for them to germinate without the heat mat. I also moved most of the tomato seedlings over to the cold frames, so I have room to start more. It's kind of late, but I think I can start a few more tomatoes, tomatillos, and peppers. I haven't started ANY tomatillos yet, and I'm pretty sure I need more peppers....
