Yesterday was a garden planting day. We planted parsnips, carrots, beets, lettuce, spinach and onions. We have peas and onions already coming up
but we needed to get the root crops in and the cool crops like lettuce and spinach started. We have lots of plants started in the greenhouse too, but we won't put them out until the end of May. We have gotten hard frosts into June before, so we don't want to rush them. It was a perfect day for planting and although I didn't do but one-half of a row, I did make lunch for ten of us and cleaned it up. I also kept my eye (some of the time) on Daniel who was afraid and at the same time fascinated by the rototiller. Jonathan on the other hand wanted to do his own "rototilling" and is a perfect little farmer in training. He likes nothing better than being outside "helping" in the garden or moving the sprinklers and watering. Because everyone was here yesterday, no one came over today like they usually do, and Doyle and I had a quiet day at home. It was lovely and truly (for me anyway) a real Sabbath rest and one that I desperately needed.
