I see I haven't posted here since September of 2007! So it goes.
Over the winter, I've been just growing what I think I can pick. And,
that is not much. Same is planned for spring; I've planted two rows of
potatoes rather than my normal twenty. I've been planting spinach one
or two rows at a time rather than one or two acres.
We are getting near to picking asparagus, I think. I got it shredded
and herbicided. I'm pretty sure I can't find time to keep it picked;
it needs to be picked every day and I have more than two acres. At the
peak, picking will probably take at least a day. Every day.
I mowed all the blackberries late last summer; that was really too
late. There is not much re-growth, so we will have a relatively short
crop. That's ok by me since we only harvested about 1/4 of the crop
last year.
Peaches look pretty good. A little warm spell will put most of them
into full bloom. I need to find time to get out there and prune them
so that I can spray herbicide under them.
