Go MSU!

We quit early last evening to watch the game, and the evening before to do a home visit in Ludington and have dinner with Meagan and her family and friends.  Most summer nights we are working till dark.

Garden work the past few days~

• Planted many more flats of seeds: Kales, chards, head lettuce, mustards, arugula, more scallions, cutting lettuces.
  
• Moved flats of onions, lettuces, kales and chards to the hoophouse to harden them off a bit before transplanting them into the garden as soon as the weather straightens out a bit.
  
• Raked leaves.  We normally have everything raked in the Fall, but when winter came early  last year, it stayed, and we weren't able to do the normal cleanup.
• Picked more lettuces and other greens for a big yummy salad.
• Transplanted the early pepper and tomato plants to bigger pots
• Mixed up new potting soil.
• Ordered more seeds
• Bought seed potatoes.  We have the unusual varieties coming by truck from Maine, but got the common varieties from Rothbury Hardware.
• Checked the garlic - it's coming up through its' mulch!

Maybe Bill will get to a farm update.  He's been busy making huge compost piles with the front end loader.
