OK. I'm a bit of a cable newbie, so I've really been enjoying You tube.
Excuse me if you have modem dial up.
But this one is farm related.
Felt like sharing.

The Artful Experiment

Farming is a whole lot of Science where you have no grip on variable. But you still want to embrace a method. Taking notes and plotting, all for the solution. Is it food? Is it growth? Is it the expansion of knowledge? The security of being able to survive? That part where it matters how things seem, the listening with fingers or eyes, the dust, and when appreciation blossoms and gratitude creeps out of all 4 corners, when the garden is whole and crankin compassion. It's fun.
It's art.
It's scientifically terrific
Agricultural science is a language we all need to learn. I make fun of things, but I recognize how grant validated trends can really help. So, narrow your focus and proove!
I'll tell you how I got my BS if you ask.
Peace and

Thanks for asking questions on this blog.

Happy Spring!

Yesterday was the Equinox and it's time to get busy. Hey, My fingernails are dirty! Yippee! It's been a long winter for me...Did anybody notice the snow this morning? I spent part of the day over at the Kiwanis greenhouse, mixing up potting soil, taking stock of all that needs to be done. We've got cabbage, onion, and leek seeded. I am fortunate to have use of this greenhouse for Daisy Chain starts. However, since it is unheated, I sow a number of flowers in my dining room under grow lights where it's warmer at night. I can keep a better eye on them at home for the time being.
Now it's early evening and the sun is shining. This is my first time blogging, so bear with me as I figure it out. I hope to keep my CSA members in touch with the farm activities this way, as well as share interesting flower trivia I come across, musings, photos, etc.. And hopefully get a conversation going between us as a community. So< please feel free to offer any feedback and participate.
I'll be sending out a mailer with registration info soon. Maybe I'll put it up on here? I'll have to figure that one out.
