We were in the field on Friday. Saw lots of wild turkeys strutting around and fanning their tail feathers. Besides all the bird activity, the other fun thing about working in the woods in spring is the beautiful wild flowers. We saw a number of these little wild orchids in our plots west of Healdsburg. It seems to be common in tanoak forests.
Spent the weekend getting our garden in shape. Ted helped with digging up the beds for the tomatoes- in fact he did all the hard work while I only had to plug in my transplants.
Ted took apart both compost piles and we have the most beautiful compost this year. We are adding that liberally to our beds.
Tomatoes this year are Celebrity, Margharita hybrid, and Juliet. This is the first time in years that we've grown a cherry tomato.
I also dug up a bed, added compost, and transplanted the three tomatillos.
Saturday I went cycling for the first time in two weeks! And I wore shorts: the weather has been really mild. Gray today though.
