Winter season is finished. Spring has definitely arrived.
Comment: this has been, by far, the most productive winter season in our 9 year history.. We have planted more than ever, cleared substantially, maintained areas and prepared them for the growing season. BD practices have been maintained, over 400 horns have been buried, 500 has been cast several times. One cow pat pit has been established. The animals are in good shape, fireweed has been reduced to very little, the gardens are in the best shape, by far. All pruning has been done, we are on top of the weeds. Altogether a very successful winter and as good a start to the growing season as one can wish for. Many thanks to Tewe, Barrie, Stacey and Jerry.
