I forgot that today is because I have been working at urban farm all day with Orion and Gaia. You would have thought that I have enough reminders for Mother Earth. 😅
1. I sowed pole beans, bush beans, asparagus beans, and edamame.
2. I pruned and chipped the peach tree
3. I terminated a bed of cover crop and tarp it

(Orion was only one and half a year old in this picture)

Pawpaws are blooming beautifully, but frosty nights are coming🙃
This year won’t be a good year for fruits.
I covered my tender annuals, and I will cover the strawberries, but everything else will be on their own and add this late frost to their genetic memory.

Gaia’s first day working at Gaia’s Food urban farm. She did a great job cooing all sorts of encouragement while I transplanted onions. Then she demanded to be fed and put to sleep before I could finish transplanting the whole tray 🙃

What happens if you are out of town for a week?
There are many options:

Maybe yellow beets and red beets are named after the colors of their seedlings. Right now, it’s snow, ice, and 6 degree F out there, but in a week, it will be sunny and in the 50s. Believe it or not, the growing season is on the way. What a miracle❄️🌱

Here is a concrete study showing the harm of grain-fed beef on human bodies, especially in forms of “oxidative stress, inflammation, and cardiovascular health.”
If you want some locally raised, organic grass-fed, grass-finished beef, check out Oak and Barrel Meats at Berea Farmers Market

Background/Objectives: Cattle-feeding systems may have health implications for consumers of beef products. Organic grass-fed (GRA) and conventional (CON) cattle-feeding systems may result in beef products with differing metabolite profiles and therefore could impact the postprandial metabolomic resp...

I finished reading Miraculous Abundance last night. It’s such an amazing read: poetic writing style, deeply personal, and so stubbornly hopeful on farming, eating, and living in ways that make this world more livable for all species.
It makes me feel so validated about the way I farm and the vision of farm that I want to create in a year or two.

Garlic germination. When we sow seeds, we sow hope. Keep steady, and keep on doing the most mundane things in life.
