Winter to spring

Raccoon at the suet feeder

Woodpeckers regularly visited the suet feeder, until the visitor at left cleaned us out while ignoring tremendous protests from a house cat at the nearest window.

New children came to stay with us.  This farm is fairly flat, but we now know there are ways to slide, if one has a saucer and is determined.

A new small raised bed is going in.  George's small garlic bed is doing well. Equipment maintenance and mowing have begun.

We always seem to start putting seedlings and seed in the big kitchen garden beds later than we should, but are usually lucky to get plenty of what we need in the end.
