What is happening on the farm?
Well we are busy babying the seedlings. It is a job to keep them watered and happy. I had a case of some fungus gnats but was able to get rid of them. Cross fingers.
I am hopefully going out this week to lay down the rest of the black landscape fabric over my beds. My soil was supposed to be covered in the fall but time got away from me. I want to have it covered soon to help with weed control. Check out this little video on why tarps are helpful.
