Farm Journal- February '14
It seemed like this month was a long time coming.
All is quiet at the farm. The plants are still hunkered down, their flaming crimson tips ablaze against the snow. There may be some stirring among them by month's end. March is when we traditionally start pruning. The blueberry plants will let us know when they are ready- the science of their sleep follows an inner clock that has its own numbers.
One thing we do like about the snow is the evidence of four-legged visitors, coyote and fox, that are otherwise invisible to us.
