The Sun, after the Rain, on a Farm, in the Spring!

Garlic rows - viewed from the west, as they drop off the east face of our sloping field.

the same Garlic rows - viewed from the east, ascending the east face, tho not at its steepest approach.

you know its been Too Long when you need to mention the year that you're writing...

 anyways, the early spring is going great at first light.  we've got some transplanted greens, as well as some direct seeded carrots, beets, peas and turnips in the ground.  the garlic we planted last november is looking great.   this week we'll transplant the first tomatoes to the field, under the protection of our new field house.  here's a few shots of the garlic field. 

Field Late March. the 2 garlic beds are in center, running from top to bottom of pic

Field Mid April, with taller garlic, its' rows visible in the pond reflection. The crazy thing is that the upper right Strip Tillage is completely reflected in a tiny section of the pond on the bottom right corner of the picture. Its an angle thing.
