Happenings Around the Homestead

Okay, I am officially sick of winter.  😀  This is the time of year I am beginning to prepare my garden, but as of now there is nothing but snow on the ground.  Thankfully it is starting to melt.  About every decade or so, we get substantial snow in our area, and the trend obviously continued this year.  It wasn’t one storm this year either, it was two back to back storms with just enough time between them for the snow to melt off for a day or so.  The second one packed a greater punch than the first, dumping over a foot of snow at my house.  Did I already say I was sick of winter?

The biggest upcoming challenge is going to be the soggy ground, which is going to be very hard on farmers and gardeners in the area.  Hopefully it will dry out before it is time for folks to till their garden.  I’ll tell you this – there couldn’t have been a better year for me to start my Back to Eden garden!

It has been a very quiet week at the homestead due to the weather, though I do have a very interesting post tomorrow about the chickens.  You aren’t going to want to miss it!
