We planted snow peas a tad early thinking Yeah! get them in first.
Buy seed, buy drip tape, buy fertilizer, buy boxes.
Buy diesel for tractor, plant the seeds, lay down the drip tape, fertilize, grow for
weeks and pray.
Night before first pick it was a little cold.
Woke to a frost - a big frost. !#@*(%$ - send nothing.
Let's keep going. Morning of 2nd pick - you guessed it - frost. Send nothing.
Finally a pick. Very small but lovely and tasty.
2nd pick - not that much but we send anyway.
Being a farmer is a wonderful life. There are many ups and downs, but once you
find your rhythm - there is nothing better than growing food.
We have wonderful wwoofers who help us, and they become a part
of the rhythm also.
Buy australian organic food and become a part of the rhythm.
