Happy Spring 2013!

Happy Spring 2013!!!  Welcome to my inaugural post!!

For many years I have intended to create information sheets, a website, extensive facebook page etc., etc. to keep all of our friends/ customers/ fellow gardeners up to date with tips and interesting happenings at Terra Farms.

Clearly, I was delusional to think that was possible with small children and aging parents competing with our work load for my time!  (Not to mention sewing <g>)  Please bear with me while I get my literary feet wet, and I'll try not to prattle.


On with the show!

We decided to delay our traditional return to the Calgary Farmer's Market by one month to May 2, hoping to avoid the annual drive through a blizzard with Basil shivering in the box of the truck.  I can hardly wait to see everyone, it's heart warming to watch people smell the soil even if it's a little early to plant outside.

Finally, the snow has mostly melted!  I am ecstatic, even though I expect some more to fall.  It's important at this time of year to remember the poor trees that may have gone through the moisture from the great melt of 2013 and are suffering a great thirst at the hands of our beloved chinook winds.


See you next week.
