Green Hill Farm

Sunrise comes earlier every morning. It's getting harder and harder to sleep much past 7 am when we are getting 14+ hours of daylight. I wonder if it confuses the roosters? However, it's a beautiful day. Tom has gone to get bottles for maple syrup. I need to get to the greenhouse to water all the plants that Paulette, Lisa, Kyle and I planted. We have way too many plants for what we need and hopefully will resist the temptation to put every single one in the ground. After all our talk about cutting back, we will undoubtedly have way more vegies than could possiibly be consumed! Tom, son Mike and his sons, Kal and Kade, planted 6 rows of red and Yukon Gold potatoes the week after Easter. Kade was so into farming - you can see his pictures on the website (www.greenhillfarm.com) that should be up and running on Monday. We asked Curtis Doornink, a high school junior, to design and build our website. His mom and Jane went to school together - still good friends. We think he did a great job. Tom's collecting eggs to hatch in the incubator. The lambs are out of the maternity pens and into the north lot jumping and running - too much energy! Daffodils are in full bloom. The bluebirds are back. Jenny Wren is fighting with the yellow tomcat. Grass will need mowing in about a week. Magnolia tree is overloaded with buds. Once again Mother Nature has proven she knows what she's doing!
