Here's our young broccoli seedlings as of this morning.  All the plants are just kinda hanging out, slowly rooting down.  They are certainly not growing too fast.  Everything is just taking it's sweet, sweet time this year.   Here's our lettuce seedlings.  They look almost the same size as when I planted them!!!!!! It is sloppy, sloppy wet out in the fields...  Some of my heirloom tomatoes ....The 'dry' greenhouses are keeping us very busy.  So when you can't get into the field, the 'covered fields' are always waiting! We've got thousands of onions planted....Peas are up, carrots, beets out there and competing with the WEEDS!  Oh yes, when we get sun/heat this weekend, it will be a mass weed fest! 

There is lots to complain about.  The weather has been complete crap so far this year making everything more than the usual challenge.  It's overly wet, therefore things don't get planted on time and when they do get in the ground they are slow going because of the cooler temperatures. (our lettuces will be at least 3 weeks late)  Some say this is a more typical spring and we just go spoiled last year. Well, I guess it's important to look on the bright side.  I can't stand long grass and have a date with my weed-eater each week around all trees and buildings.  I can't sleep if the farm looks sloppy!  It seems to be growing twice as fast this year - Especially around the chicken coop where rats like to try to 'hide out'.  No cigar you nasty buggers. We are very busy with the greenhouses, so when field work cannot get done, the family is working in one of the three greenhouses.  Today was mass harvest the "Ostergruss" Radish day!  These guys...
