Green Hill Farm

April 17: cold, clear blue sky with a few puffs of clouds, windy and a couple of inches of snow on the ground. We've decided to plant the cucs and squash regardless of Mother Nature and just hope for the best!
Kal and Kade came yesterday morning. They are growing up. Kal has made a meatloaf; Kade has fixed taco meat; all with the intent of helping Mom and Dad out a couple of evenings next week. How well I remember what a chore supper could be after working all day or all night or going in on an evening shift and wanting to leave something good for supper. Both boys enjoy cooking - not much for clean up but who is?
Tom installed a water softener yesterday after long discussions about the pros and cons. The challenge was keeping the cold water in the kitchen (love the coffee it makes) and the outdoor faucets. Houses built a 100 years ago never planned on any type of modernization.
Off to the greenhouse!
