Finally, after a number of setbacks, we started the season by seeding our onions, leeks and shallots.  Its one of the best days of the year... lots of promise and fun, lots of anticipation, but really, not that hard of a task.  A very satisfying labor to product ratio...  and it was hot as hell... in a good way.

 
 

paperwork takes the fun out of farming... but orchestrating the big effort makes it all worth it.  i almost fired up the greenhouse today just to get away from forms and filing... three more weeks and it all makes sense again.

 
 

the seed order is in and we finally got the plastic on the hoop house.  one month from today we start the onions and leeks... seems impossible, but we're going to start this season off with almost everything in order.  luck, hope, prayer.
