Field Report....Edwardsville, IL

Spending the weekend in down state IL for my nephew's wedding. Until you drive through thousands of acreas of unplanted fields you don't appreciate the amount of rain that this part of the country had. Lots of planting and tilling going on, and a whole bunch left to do.

Had our first shot at humid and 86. A little different than the usual 70's in De Pere.

We got out and visited the Edwardsville Farmers Market this morning. Obviously early but saw lots of greens, some really great brocolli, and asparagus. Most sold out very quickly but in talking with people, a lot more to come. Glad to see that there was a strong commitment to organic. OMRI was posted a lot of places.

Will get home on Monday night and plan on spending Tuesday in the garden/yard getting caught up.

Have a great and safe holiday.

Bill
