      Spring feels like it’s coming early this year, and though we need more rain, I am making hay while the sun shines.  The hoophouses are planted to capacity, and it has been a good bit of work to keep flipping the beds as the over-winter crops have gone by the wayside.  Clearing, prepping, sowing and planting are the rhythm of the farm, and I follow the beat.
