Welcome back from a somewhat long winter (which isn't over)

Just wanted to drop everyone a note that we are still alive here in De Pere, WI.  The snow has been reduced from last year and for the most part, the winter a little milder.

Thoughts are turning to gardening.  I had the fortune of attending the Garden Expo in Madison a couple of weeks ago.  Lots and lots of people, lots and lots of stuff.  Picked up some giant asiatic lilies for the NW bed in the yard, but more importantly, picked up my seeds.

Stopped at Jungs in Sun Prarie and in 45 minutes had all of my seed.  Great supply and great variety.  Now I am ready.

My plan is to plant our onion seeds in blocks of 6 this year to follow the Elliot Coleman approach.  We will be in HI during the week of 7-13 March and plan on seeing a lot of great agriculture.  We are staying on the big island so there is less commercialization.

After we get back, I will get some additional plantings started with brussel sprouts, broccoli, and kale.




Be good, be safe.  We'll talk soon.
