Our green house is full of trays waiting for the seeds to sprout. I haven't even ordered my seeds from Johnny's yet and the green house is full. We are planning a trip up to Johnny's next weekend.
I planted some calendula in the herb garden, and Bloomsdale Spinach in the main garden yesterday. I'm itching to get the season started, but also know that we may still have a cold snap or even a frost before the full moon in May. It is best not to do to much in the gardens until after Memorial Day.
We'll be in full bloom soon, and the summer will give us the fresh food we crave.
The Future of Food is in Your Hands
The future of this countries food is in your hands. When you buy food in the grocery store, do you know where it came from, and what they did to it?
I just watched a documentary on hulu.com, about American food, and the future of it, and couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
For those of you interested in the future of your food, I would highly suggest wathcing this documentary about the Future of Food. It talks about how pesticides and herbacides came into use after WWII. It describes what genetically modified (GM) foods, and the cause and effects of this on humans. It talks about how organic food is what will turn it all around. Well, duh, we knew that.
It was fascinating to learn that our governement is more screwed up, and has way to much power.
If we are what we eat, then we are screwed.
This is only one reason why Cloverleaf Farm uses only organic methods of growing food.

Mostly for The Planting
It will soon be time for the planting season. It is wild to think that just a few weeks ago, we still had snow on the ground. We have a somewhat short growing season, and it is best for us to start our plants in the greenhouse. Now that we have that fixed, we can start our seeds.
This weekend, we will get out our tractor and till up the fields. This has to be done when the ground temperature stays about 60 degrees. If it is done too much before this, the soil's bacteria gets out of balance.
It will be so nice to get some of these chores out of the way.

New Greenhouse
Okay, it is not exactly new, but we did have to redo the plastic over it. It had been three season, and it had rotted through.
I can now go fulll force in planting all the seeds I have bought. I must get that started as soon as I possilby can. Planting season is right around the corner, and the seedlings will have to be ready to go into the garden.
It is always exciting to plant a seed, watch it grow, and then get to eat the fruits of your labor. We are planting a few new varities this year. For a complete list you can visit Cloverleaf Farm
