A BOUQUET

today i cut flowers at the farm and made my first bouquet of the season... daffodils. it was just the kind of day you would expect to cut fresh flowers.

i worked in the greenhouse for a bit this morning. some seeding, some rearranging trays. i have really noticed that in the morning and late afternoon, there is quite a bit of shading on the bench. i put the trays in more strategic places... brassicas and lettuce in the more shady area and peppers, tomatoes and eggplant in full sun. next year we will take this into account when we are redesigning our propagation area. i also direct seeded beets and carrots today. i threw in some cosmic purple and creme de lite varieties of carrots at the last minute for fun.

this afternoon, angus and i spent a few hours working outside. angus had his first official farm chore. he watered about 8 of the rhubarb plants i recently transplanted. i put water in the can and showed him which plant to water. he was awesome. he is obsessed with the watering can i use for our houseplants and has even sought out the watering can at spencer's parents house. it was fun to play and work with him. i was digging up another bed for the rest of the rhubarb starts.
