I'm Back!

It has been too long blogosphere!  I have been very busy enjoying all the wonderful things northern Minnesota has to offer in the fall and that did not leave very much time to write it all down.  We are rapidly approaching Christmas and I find myself yearning for the days we get to dig in the dirt again.  Amazingly we have no snow on the ground here...a rare treat for December.  It may upset some but as far as I am concerned we could just go right back into spring now!  The fact that I can see the dirt but I cant play in it is kinda mean of Minnesota to do to me.  I am heading to Florida for the holiday maybe I can find some dirt to play in down there.
As far as farming goes...we pulled the last of the crops out two weeks ago and tilled in the hoop houses.  It was sad to see them all go and we are all missing salads!! It is such a treat to be able to eat fresh veggies all summer but now we are eating soups and stews which taste pretty good too.
As far as the blog goes...I will be doing some updates through the winter but I will be working hard on updating some of the features for our CSA members.  I will be adding a lot of good information about the vegetables we will be putting in your buckets as well as lots of new recipes and lots of fun facts.
I remember when the tomato hoop house looked like this

Now it looks like this...

We added some compost, alfalfa pellets, and soy meal and then tilled everything up.  In the spring when the ground is no longer frozen we will have awesome nutritious dirt for the summers tomato crop.
