Things have been moving right along on the farm, pretty much right on schedule, which is a bit out of the norm. I think we’ve gotten better at prioritizing what needs to be done (i.e., the vacuuming can wait, but transplanting the peppers cannot!) and we are also getting more efficient at tasks as we come up with new ways of doing things. “Why didn’t we think of this before?!” we are asking ourselves often enough these days. Perhaps most importantly is that Mother Nature has been helping a lot this year by keeping the temperature at just the right spot for it to pleasant to work outside all day and by sending us regular rain. I am actually hesitant to even say anything about the rain as I don’t want to jinx us; last year Simon and I spent 80 hours watering and we’re not anxious to repeat that again!
