It has been raining for the past week. I am really hoping to see and feel this soon. I think the plants have gotten enough rain and overcast, for now.
WHERE ARE YOU?

FARM UPDATE
I finally got all the transplants in the ground. The rainy weather has delayed my transplanting time by 2 weeks. I kept them outside in an empty raised bed until they were ready to be planted. We have three varieties of peppers, tomatoes and eggplants. The others crops will be direct seeded.
I applied fish fertilizer to the plants before they were planted to give them an extra boost. There were about 450 transplants.

This is the first year of transplanting on a large scale. It was back breaking but yet enjoyable. I can't wait to reap the harvest. It will make it all worth it.
I couldn't figure out what to do with my raised beds at home now that I have a field to plant in. Eventually, I decided to turn one into a herb garden. The other is still empty.
Happy planting!
SPRING TIME
I don't know what it is about spring that gives us a sense of new beginnings. Maybe it's life bursting all around us.
BEEKEEPING
I had an opportunity to attend a two day workshop on beekeeping hosted by Wake County Beekeepers Association. I am pretty sure that I am not ready for bees this year. I just wanted to get an idea of what beekeeping entailed.
After the class I have a full appreciation and respect for bees. Bees are smart, hard workers who meticulously plan every aspect of their lives. Everything is done with purpose for the greater good of the colony. If only...
This Larry and he has been beekeeping for 64 years. He was the most knowledgeable guy when it comes to beekeeping.
NEW LOOK. NEW NAME.
Welcome to my new website! I hope you like the new look and style. I plan to use this website to document my growth from a home gardener to a farmer. I have a lot of exciting things coming up, so stay tuned!
