Wind and Cold

Isn't it suppose to be spring?  Although most days have been nice lately, there have been quite a few cold ones.  And if it is not cold it is windy.  I mean windy, 30-40 mph wind gust.  We do not have any wind damage, but I am getting tired of working in the wind. 

Cold has been a potential problem too.  A couple of nights the weather people have forecasted below freezing temps, luckily they have been incorrect.  The high tunnels that we constructed have been working great.  They have kept the plants warm.  One night we did cover everything to insure that they would be warm enough.  I love that we "tucked" in our plants.

Everything else is going fine.  Normal farm stuff.  Preparing ground for planting, watching our fields for run off, and Mom is doing a great job getting the seeds going.  We are still a couple weeks away from full scale planting.  We are planting a few plants, taking a chance that we will beat the frost.  But until all chances for frost are diminished, we will wait.  This being my first year to do this I wonder if this waiting will ever get better.  It is like waiting for christmas, just doing other things to prepare for that day in April when we can let go and start planting.

We still have a lot to do, but I am looking forward to doing it.
