Sick

My tomatoes were sick and we lost more than I care to think about. Now I am sick and everything around the farm is piling up. I hope to be feeling better soon so I can put my nose to the dirt and get things going. We have our back field started. It was such a lucky find. We bought this place without knowing that in the middle of the property (we have 40acres most of it woods.) was an old farmers field. We cleared all the scrubby trees that popped up during it's fallow years and now we are ready to plow.
Our strawberries are kicking butt and taking no prisoners. We almost tripled the beds. Excited to make pies and jams and my absolute fav. homemade tea biscuits, strawberries and whipped cream yum!

Sick

While I am normally a very healthy person I have finally succumbed to the worlds worst cold. It was bound to happen. I wish I could lay on the couch and drink tea, but my garden is calling me. You take a day off in the spring and you are behind by a week. I don't know how that works, but it does happen. In fact writing this post is really just an excuse to stay inside. Where it is warm and close to the kleenex. I am going to do my Nan's trick of stuffing a couple up the old sleeve.
Hope everyone has a germ free day.
