Bad weather moving in tonight. Rain, freezing rain, tons of snow. Winter is one of my favorite times of the year. Beautiful
Things are gearing up for the market season here. I have transplanted seedlings into the cell trays. Yesterday was 100 0r so Genovesie Basil; while today I did Jet Star tomatoes, leeks, and sweet basil. That should be it for a few days when more seedlings have developed their first set of true leaves. So for now, it is back to starting seeds and putting them in the seedling room to germinate. I'm thinkin' more tomatoes, classic eggplants, more herbs. Basically whatever strikes my fancy.
I finally got around to testing the blackberry rolls. I love, love, love the sweet bread that I use. It is easy to make and raises beautifully. I decided to try PourAPie (like you would use the cinnamon sugar for cinnamon rolls). This first try was not a home run but...with a little tweaking, I think we might have a new offering this summer at the farmers markets we go to. Farm fellar loved it but he is pretty easy to please. If it is homemade, he's happy!
Haven't heard from the economic guy since I sent the last e-mail. I have thought of a few more things that our farm business could use: a packing area for cleaning, sorting and packaging of the fresh picked produce and a walk in cooler/freezer. That would make life so much easier.
Met Sam, Jennifer and my Mom (Dee) at McDonalds today for a quick lunch. If you ever want to see a cranky princess, it was definitely Sam in her party dress. She was baaaad.
Gonna go watch Survivor preview. I'm so lame.
See ya on the farm
