helwenWell! Still recovering and actually overslept today.... Still haven't started any seeds, but will do so today. Also, we'll be starting to lay out the lasagna bedding in the garden.
Sugaring is slowing down, but still happening as of today. Expect this to be the final week though. I expect at lower elevations or points further south of us, it's already done.
The crocus are blooming now too, so I expect that soon more people will be talking about how "spring" is finally here... I find it a little amusing that the point at which many people declare a season to have arrived is usually around the beginning-to-middle of that season's peak.

Since we're still not up to major doings, no choir practice tonight. But there's a Share the Warmth meeting today, so we'll go to that. First part is at one person's farm, where he has a relatively new community garden plot area laid out, that we'll look at. Then over to Elmer's for the talking part.
Not sure how gardening and the new workshop series became part of a group on keeping people warm, but there you go. The workshops over the next several months will be on gardening and/or food preservation.

Farmers Market meeting was Friday night and we made it to that too - laid back group of folks, farmers.... good discussion, research being done by some folks on stuff to help the market will be happening, etc.

New Future meeting earlier last week, where folks met in person. Don't know when the next meeting is, but interestingly a few folks I've spoken to don't know about haybox cookers. So I guess I need to try out a few things myself now.... there's info out there of course, but a little hands-on at our local altitude would be a good thing.
There's a post on it over at The Archdruid Report, with some excellent info in the comments as well. You might have to do a search for it, as it was a few months back.
