It really did feel like it would never come. Just 3 weeks after we were digging out of 18 inches of snow, we are enjoying 80-degree weather. Finally allowing us to make some progress outside. It is a great feeling to finally be moving our plans forward.
Thanks to some help from my dad and mom, we were able to get the fence up on the pen for goats. I am putting a few coats of paint on the gates and will get those hung this week. The next step will be to build a shelter for them. Then we will be already to bring our first few goats on the farm.
We will be putting up 12 raised beds this spring for the garden. We are taking the approach of putting them up slowly as needed. We have three up, filled and planted. We have our onions for Dixon Dale Farms, salad mix, and radishes planted into those beds. We will be working on building and filling three more beds this week. There are tomatoes, peppers, broccoli and cauliflowers started under grow lights that will be ready to be translated in a few weeks. There are a few different berry plants that are potted up in gallon pots that we are babying a little right now. Just bring them outside slowly to get them used to the climate.
We had to wait a little longer than we wanted, but we are finally outdoors. We are happy to able to get out and get some stuff done while enjoying the weather. What are your plans for the spring? Please let us know in the comments.
