Wow, we've gotten over an inch of rain in the last week! The cover crops are loving it, coming up strong, and pretty evenly. That area will be where we'll plant everything next year.
My parents-in-law, Ron and Johan, were here this last weekend to help put install some new windows in the house, and I got some wonderful company and help from Johan planting out some lettuce and brussel sprout transplants! Still have a few cabbages and collards waiting to plant. And I need to set up my row cover/frost blanket this week, in case the cold ever does actually come (hate to jinx this nice weather, but better to admit it may come and be ready for it.)
Market notes: This is the last Thursday market in Flat Rock, and there's going to be a big shin-dig down behind the rainbow row of shops (The Wrinkled Egg, etc)! Still don't know what I'll dress up as yet.
