April 2021

 

WELCOME SPRINGTIME!

Hoping everyone had a great Easter and WOW we sure can't complain about the weather!

April has been above normal, the grass greening, trees budding, daffodils blooming, all wonderful as long as a cold snap doesn't arrive and damage tender blossoms.

Here at the farm the horses go out to pasture for most of the day which is always great to see. It means morning coffee in the sunroom while watching the foals frolic on the hillside.

Winter toys - hockey nets, sleighs, toboggans, shovels (which hopefully we won't need) all put away.

The garlic and strawberries have been uncovered (straw left close by for any COLD nights) and peas that were started in the greenhouse have been planted out and our new Cold Frame that our son built has been put in the raised bed and planted with radishes, 2 types of lettuce and bunching onions.

   

Thanks to our son for building this for us - much appreciated!

I am having a bit of trouble getting the  Blog to take photo's today and I haven't been taking as many as usual so between the 2 issues I am coming up short handed today. 

We have a new foal coming in the weeks ahead, vegetable seed has been purchased, the oat seed has been picked up and the corn seed has arrived so the planting will begin shortly in both field and garden, lawn mower is being overhauled (oil changed / blades sharpened) and over the next few days I will pick up fallen branches from the lawn ready for the first cut. Last year it was on May 3rd - may be earlier this year.

                            Hope your able to enjoy the warmer days ahead as they unfold.

                                                                 Until next time,
