Moving Slow

Hey there again! As winter break comes to a close, everything seems to be returning from this ever lasting slow down. People are tired, the plants in the farm aren't growing at their usual success and senioritis is kicking in for some of us. But as we see there is plenty of work to be done for the winter and the prep needed for spring. I know though that we've got the motivation to continue this year with some great work. Some of the special things that were done this week was shelling [ed.] corn and (as seen in the photo) we were extracting some seed from the rye plants that have been dried out for harvest, which then would go into our handy pillow cases. Returning also meant that we all had to fulfill our winter plans by planting in the areas that were left empty from break to prevent erosion from the soil since (thank goodness) we've been having plenty of rain. Lastly in means to prep for spring transplanting, we've started some flats to grow our seedlings, hoping that the cold weather doesn't prohibit their growth. All is good and well. See you out on the farm!
