The greenhouse starts producing.

Tonight we had a feed of fresh spinach from the greenhouse. We planted it in the fall and it survived the winter temperatures. It was a pleasant surprise when Andrew brought it in this evening.

Today we looked over the back fields to see how we could go about expanding our growing capability for future seasons. Many of the fields have either grown up significantly or have been very neglected. Hopefully we will be able to remedy this in the next few years. Land availability is a constant planning problem. Being situated on the Peninsula we have to deal with a lot of rock outcrops and hilly terrain.

Blacky's sick lamb passed away today.

Andrew penned off one half of the barn for the sheep and their lambs. They are all happy to be together again.
