FARMING WITH A TODDLER.

We have been slow to post on our blog lately because – I’m sure you can guess what I’ll say next – we’ve been busy! But truly, we have! January and February were so mild and warm, we were able to get almost one third of the garden planted. And then, we spent most of March keeping little seedlings covered and bringing tomato and pepper plants inside every night to keep them from freezing! As of right now, we have an almost eerie feeling of being caught up or maybe even ahead of schedule. I keep looking around thinking surely we must be forgetting something.Further and I have been able to work in the garden much more than last season – which may not always necessarily be helpful! Jesse and I are learning patience with Further – trying to let him “help,” which means slowing down our pace. It means sometimes having to replant things he has dug out, or stopping what we are doing to show him (and show him and show him) how to walk in the path and not on the bed. Like I said, we’re still learning how to be good at this, to be patient.But he is doing great! And the gardens look good! And the strawberries are sizing up! Here are some photos from the past month or so as a little catch up.- Hannah.
