Been too busy working here to write much. I got a new gator that I have wanted for 5 years. It is so useful. We use it to haul plants that we have started from the greenhouse to the house when the weather is too cold. We have like 20 flats of plants started so it is real handy. I also use it to haul water to the chickens and baby goats. Also to haul feed. And the most fun of all is hauling grandkids around everywhere. They love it. This week-end I had me, my two pregnant daughters and two teen daughters and we all went for a girl gator trip while the men were tilling the outside garden spots. We rented a pull behind the tractor tiller and it took care of my new corn/bean patch/field, my strawberry patch/field and our new patch for our new 20 by 70 greenhouse. I have 300 strawberry plants and 50 raspberry bushes coming next week. We have to fence the patch/field for the strawberries and get our fruit orchard field ready for the raspberries. Not to mention the 50 fruit trees that have still not been planted. Luckily they are in big pots and have been growing in these pots for the last 5 years. The men have been working on clearing that field every good weather day of which there have not been many. We had 6 inches of snow and 19 degree weather for the last 2 days, but everything in the greenhouse came thru fine. We have onions, lettuces, spinach, turnip greens, parsley and cilantro growing in there. Tomorrow I put tomatoes in the greenhouse in wall of waters.
Well life is busy here. Two kids have had the chicken pox and one is training for the special olympics.
Well gotta go bring the flats of plants in because it may go below freezing.

Good Luck getting everything in the ground. Sorry about the chicken pox, they can be nasty. We had a bout with them here a few years ago.
