What’s the coolest thing you ever got in the mail?

Ducklings are happy to stretch their little legs after an overnight flight from Holderread Farm in Oregon.

Busy weeks at the farm getting things ready to plant: lettuce seedlings in, raspberries & strawberries in raised beds, new starts biding their time under grow lights in the mudroom.

The little cheepers are growing up.

It’s the prettiest spring we’ve had in years: long sunny days, cool nights, rain just when we need it and not a minute before. Everything is in bloom at the farm right now, including this old apple tree that practically lies on its side but won’t give up the ghost.

Not even a week old, and already proud as lions.

Beautiful rainy day, if you’re a seedling!

What made it through winter in the greenhouse: some mustard, red Russian kale, a few sweet leaves of spinach.
