So Ready for Spring

Here in Northeast Texas, we are just not seasoned for extremely cold weather.  Give us 110 degrees in the shade and we can deal (we may complain, but we can handle that).  It's hard to plan for the spring when you step outside and freeze.  We have managed to devise a plan for our little farm for this spring, summer and fall despite the current weather situation. 

We (mostly my husband) have managed to get the green house ready by building a planting table, installing a sink and water connection for watering our plants.  He has managed to schedule plantings and has several things sprouting in the greenhouse.  Our garden has been plowed, but not ready for planting yet.  Now we are facing the possibility of two weeks of rain.  This would make it impossible to use the tractor or tiller to finish getting the garden plot ready.  IT WILL BE DONE - eventually!  We have plans for a garden for us and some extra to sell. The deer who think we plant just for them are also counting on the garden.  Hopefully we will be able to keep them from eating the entire garden. We will also have watermelons, cantaloupes and a pumpkin patch.  This fall we would like for kiddos and families to come out and be able to pick a pumpkin and get the kids picture made with George (our pet turkey).  George will pose or do anything you wish for a few meal worms!  He is gorgeous but a bit of a mooch! 

This summer we will offer watermelons and cantaloupes for sale here on the farm.  We will have fresh eggs, chickens, turkeys, guineas and peafowl for sale as well.  We hope that some of you will make your way out to the Singleton Roost for a visit.  Oh yeah, there will be baby rabbits hopefully in time for Easter.
