Fields & Fire BlogSeeds! It must be almost spring
This week, our gorgeous seed rack from Seed Savers Exchange arrived at Wheatberry, which means that spring really is almost here! We are just a little bit excited. Ok, a lot (Ben started out first flat of onions today!)
Seeds, glorious heirloom seeds. Many of these varieties are ones we’ll be using at our farm, too, and we’ve been hustling to get our sunroom (i.e seed-starting space) cleaned up and ready (since it’s been a total wreck all winter!).
I was looking through some photos from last spring, and that got me even more excited. It seems hard to believe, but already I really notice the light returning and feeling warm. Soon the sap will be running, we’ll be boiling down our maple syrup, and then, we’ll be seeing the bare earth again, and the green fall-planted grains! A few teasers from last spring (I just can’t help myself) . . .
And just because it’s too sweet not too add:
I love these pictures.
My heart longs for spring.
Thank you Jen! You’ll have to come see them for yourself soon.
I am so so so happy to be getting close to spring. I just placed my seed order from a local company here in northern Colorado, and it has been warm enough to actually work the land, so I am excited to get my flower seeds into the ground.
Can’t wait to see what your growing season holds this year
Hooray for seeds – I love dreaming over seed catalogs (although it can be dangerous!). Lucky you getting out into the soil! Happy growing to you.
These pictures of the green and your gorgeous little girl lift my heart. We are moving towards a new beginning : )
