First crops are in the ground!

So excited! It's been a rough spring with all this rain...most folks think "rain is good for the crops and farming," but this is not so this time of year when we are trying to work the soil and plant. You can't work in it when it's wet or you will compact it and do some long term damage. In between the storms, we finally did the final tilling on one of the fields and got some snow peas and snap peas in the ground, just before the next storm... with more to go in, but at least it's something!! And, probably my favorite spring crop, hence it's priority!
