Casi Cielo is a go!!

Happy to say that I will soon begin my season as a farmer growing custom food for 8 wonderful families.  I have lots of plans and dreams, since we have lots of boys in the families to give them opportunities that suit their interests, with the fairy gardens and lots of ways to incorporate folks as they want to be involved other than just eating good healthy food.  In one more month, I hope to begin seeding even if my yard is still mostly white.

muscari, a brave little perennial.

The top garden.

There is hope and the dear little muscari which are always the first each Spring, are beginning to bloom.   I started my first seeding project with wheat grass in eggshells.  Lets see if we have little creatures in time for our EAster Egg hunt.

the potter is in the mud!!

I am madly glazing and bisquing for our last kiln before summer.  I think I have surpassed my life time record for making mugs, but I have yet to count them.

Still trying to fill orders and I am bidding on another one.  Call me crazy itès not the first time.

 

The farmer in me is calling and the beds are increasing, the dead crab apple came down today, so so long to the blooms, and hello to a more sunny bed where I can grow more food.  Here are some photos of the new beds, including the straw bale.  I would still like to get some more beans and greens in, but trying to focus on the glazing and loading for the next three days.

 

Spring changing

 

 

Spring is finally peeking through, we went for a walk to get a Slurppe for my well dressed gentleman, have been to a greenhouse to get more inspiration, seen the rhubarb peeking through.  I am in the last four weeks of serious production in the studio, and then I turn into an urban farmer for the most part for the next six months.  I feel more and more pulled to be outside and digging about, fortuneately the wardrobe stays the same, yoga pants, t shirts and overalls, and bare feet.
