Market Farming

[<kakerby AT aol.com>]

I’m delighted to see this list active again.  Like Rivka I’m just not interested in FB, and most of my other groups have fizzled out or gone over to that maddening platform.  I’ll stick with email thanks.

 

Tough February here with record-setting cold and snowfall.  Nice March but our April blossoms have been hammered by another round of unusual cold.  Not sure we’re going to have much in the way of local tree fruit.  Looking forward to warmer weather.

Hi Rivka,
Nice to see someone else still out there.  
How did the snows treat you this year?  We had snow yesterday!!  Not much but it was weird.
Went to pick up another Allis G tractor and saw cars on the interstate just plastered with wet sloppy snow.

 

We've been soggy soggy soggy since late last summer. Most of it was rain, not snow. I have acquired a raised bed maker, and a spader; but it needs to be not mud for a while so I can use them.

Hope the list is alive again this spring and summer.

 

Me too. I found it both interesting and useful.

God bless.

Looks like the Fruit Explorers are all on Facebook which I do not like at all.  

 

Not all of us. The email list had a brief burst of activity recently (I hope there'll be more coming.) Part of the burst was people saying No Facebook! but some of it was people actually discussing fruit.
