Forecast: 50-60% chance of rain, high of 59 degrees F.
Well, I'd hoped to have you all help with bed preparation and pea planting this week, but given the forecast for rain most of this week, Diane and I are scrambling to get the peas planted yet today (Sunday) before the wet weather starts in.
Please bring your raincoats and waterproof shoes (if you have them) in case the rain is light enough that we're able to work outdoors on Monday or Tuesday, though. Inside activities I have planned for us include starting broccoli, tomato, eggplant, and pepper transplants; harvesting vermicompost and setting up fresh bedding for the worm bins; and possibly an apple tree grafting demonstration by John.
We've been busy this week renovating our hoophouse and building transplant benches to go inside it. If you'd like to see some photos, check out our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Harvest-of-Joy-Farm-LLC/168871449887455.
I'm looking forward to our brunch at Hannah's house this Thursday. I'm going to suggest that we each read the first 71 pages of "Sharing the Harvest" before we meet and then we can talk about how the ideas in the first two sections of the book intersect with the realities of life on my farm.
We also need to talk about organizing the rest of the brunches, your independent projects and blog contributions, and organizing visits to other farms.
Enjoy today's sunshine! Sounds like we might not see it again for a few days.
