I didn't realize we weren't picking up yesterday, so the girls and I got to the farm plenty early to do some work before our pickup. We had a great time. We planted four rows of corn, which will hopefully be heavy with organic corn deliciousness in about 65 days, despite 3 pairs of little feet that couldn't remember to walk on the grass paths instead of in the lovely loose tilled dirt. I dug my first (uneven) furrow, and thoroughly appreciated Matt's patience with three active little ones. We also made friends with the chickens and dreamed about goats and cows. And we learned that the field is low in potassium, which can be easily remedied when we get together soon (say June 27 or 28?) for a potluck/grill work party--the ashes from burning wood can be applied to the field to raise its potassium levels. (Right?)
Thank you guys for sponsoring such a great, natural farm!
