This spate of dry weather that we have experienced over the last month has come at the wrong time. That makes me nervous as we approach summer for that is the time that we need the dry weather. Thank goodness for the irrigation well, which we hooked the pump up to on Friday.
I would prefer the dry weather but with the price of fuel going up, it would be perfect if we were to get some rain this spring to get the seeds and plants growing. But such is the life on a farm.
We just planted some leek that Dad had ordered from Italy. I also have some more onions on the way from Johnny's and the first plot of potatoes have been planted. It's time for a second planting of carrots and beets but the dry cool weather has prevented the first planting from germinating. It's going on three weeks now and I am afraid that they will not emerge.
We had a nice Easter with the girls home to visit. We went to my aunt and uncle's house in Pennsylvania for Easter dinner and it was nice to see family and friends.
Being off from school this week will be a much needed lift as I can continue to get work done. We will also be visiting Virtua Hospital's Voorhees campus on Wednesday to talk to the employees about our farm stand which starts next month.
