At the end of March, there was still plenty of snow. I dug out the water line to irrigate the hoop house.
The tractor is thinking about spring.
Freeloader
Eventually the snow did melt and I was able to see what the cover crop of Peas, Vetch and Oats looked like after a few feet of snow. Pretty flat. Nice mat of organic matter though. Thats mostly pea vines you see, some flatted oat stalks. Can't see much vetch.
Then it snowed again. (this is April 9) And packs of deer moved in. The deer of the apocalypse?
But the daffodils were steadily working their way up.
Alright, mid april. Snow is almost all gone except for a few patches in the dark woods. I got a rusty old seed roller to aid in better cover crop management this year. It's crazy heavy and had to be winched sideways out of the truck.
Hey, it's a porcupine in the elm tree. (this is like 20 feet from the house) This is the 4th or 5th one I've seen this spring. They're everywhere right now.
Mostly onions in the seedling house, ready to get outside soon!
