Garlic and shallots and ramps, oh my!

Oh yeah, and a farm dog attempting to avoid dry land drowning in the lilies. Because this news is just too exciting to wait for me to get caught up on filling you people of the internets in on the nuts and bolts of the farm these days, I give you a quick view of the Excitement on the farm!

The Blog Lives On

Okay, I'm officially excited about restarting the blog. Thanks for wanting to read it, you people of the internets!

Here's a quick update, with a photo-filled one promised soon. The last of the snow melted off the area that was last year's garden (not the woodchuck one), and the hay covering Way Too Many heads of garlic that are planted Way Too Close Together (that being the motto of this farm blog) is starting to warm up. The ground is still happily frozen. So all eyes here are on the seed starting operation, which will receive final set up...tonight! Photos soon.

In the meantime, I'm working on my Farming Face in preparation for the season.
