Hello Everyone!
We had a busy week at the farm. One of our ewes, Jan gave birth to 2 healthy big baby boy lambs. She was 5 weeks early but we did have a ram bust down a gate in September and get into the ewes' area, 5 weeks before the breeding season. Lucky for us he only bred one ewe. Their names are Sampson and Finn.
Another exciting event on the farm was our Small Space, Big Production workshop sponsored by the Valley Organic Growers Association. We expected about 50 people and the turnout was around 70 people. It is so exciting to see people wanting to grow their own food! Growing your own food can be as simple as 15 minutes a day if done in the right system. Gardening does not have to be hard or frustrating. It can be one of the best parts of your day and it can really help cut your food budget.
One more thing…… I saw a robin this week! Now there is hope that winter will end!
Tomato Challenge
The weather has been very cold, like early January temperatures. We have had nights in the single digits again. The tomatoes are hanging in there. I am pleased that I can keep them from freezing. The cucumbers, on the other hand, are not freezing but are struggling with the cold nights. They like night temperatures above 60 deg. F. I will need to feed the tomatoes this week or move them up in pot size, they are looking a bit hungry but are still blooming.
