Spring In The Desert

Spring is Here!

 

 

Roses are blooming, bearded irises are in bud, wax geraniums are loving the warmer weather.

 

I missed taking pics of the pear trees in bloom, the lily of the valley, the gopher purge . . .

 

the palette keeps changing.

 

 Looking forward to eating al fresco as soon as the winds die down.   A favorite time of year

Desert Farm Girls are Back!

The Desert Farm Girls Are Back!

 

 

We are back in the garden again!  What an undertaking.  The garden has been moved from Section 40 to the AG South Field.  The new garden is on virgin soil that has never been planted before, which is great.  Not so great is that the soil here is way different than Section 40.  As you can see from the pics, the soil has a high clay content in it - so we will all be on a slight learning curve to see what type of production we get out of these fields. Crossing our fingers!

 

 

Ila and Tina are on board as part of the Desert Farm Girls Team.  Yay, so glad to have them.   We hope that our feminine touch  helps  with  growing veggies in our new location.

 

Stay tuned!  More updates to follow.
