The First Tease of Spring

We bought some new tools at this weekend's local Organic Grower's school. Volunteers will soon get to try out our new 7" and 5" stirrup hoes, potato hoes, compost fork, trowels and hand clippers.
 
March 9th is eleven days away from official spring but the ground was just right Tuesday so Franklin chisel plowed the new potato area which will allow the rain that's in the forecast, to drain. For all those who LOVED digging potatoes last year you'll be happy to know we're doubling the amount we're planting in 2010. And if your kids loved picking potato beetles, we'll have twice as many of those, as well. We're betting that several days after the rains, we can have our first worknight of the season so stay tuned.
