Farm Happenings

Deep MulchThis morning I spent several productive hours working outside in the garden.  First up was a quick weeding of the previously mulched garlic.  And the weeds turned into much appreciated cow chow.

Next, I transplanted my first batch of 60 tomato plants which I started from seed in mid-February.   The nice surprise in this task was finding earthworms galore as I dug the holes for the tomatoes.  All of that hard work in soil improvement is most definitely paying off.

Bees in apple tree

New beesA few days ago, I retrieved a small swarm of bees from one of my hives.  Luckily, the swarm settled down in a semi-dwarf apple tree which made the job of getting them into a new hive almost trivial.

Lastly, I wrote another guest post for Robb Wolf this week about Growing Sweet Potatoes.  Please check it out.

Thanks for reading.
