Time to get back to work! Not that we ever really slowed down, we just got busier making improvements to our house and concentrating on schoolwork with the boys.
Now we're back, thinking and planning for the upcoming growing season. Danny made improvements to my seed starting area in the basement this weekend. I now have running water in the basement with a hose to water all the little seedlings we're about to start. No more hauling water down the stairs, or bribing the boys to help me. (ha,ha) He also put in a new fluorescent light above my work area and generally cleaned up and got my work area organized.
This evening we've been going through our seeds, sorting, taking inventory, trying to decide what we still need to order... so much to do to get started again.
Recently we got the test results back from our soil samples from the different garden areas. Now it's time to start adding the recommended organic amendments. Overall there's not much that needs to be done, all the organic matter we've been adding the last few years has really paid off. It's just the newer beds that need a little extra help.
Time to dream about it now!

That's cool, bring on spring! Speaking of which I guess word got out that I grew tomatoes last year because I just got a Burgess catalog in the mail.
Great to hear from you! Let us know how your tomatoes do this year. What varieties did you grow last year? Are you picking new ones from your catalog?
Outstanding! I can tell you're very excited and I look forward to your bounty that will be produced. I enjoy purchasing from you at the winter farmers market and look forward to seeing you throughout the year!
We grew Early Girl, Big Beef, & Celebrity. We kept 4 different households supplied with tomatoes through October. We're wanting to do more this year but don't have a for sure plan.
