Preparing for Strawberries

Rain plagues the soul. This morning was spent transplanting tomatoes and peppers in a steady downpour. It was cold, wet, and muddy. We accomplished a lot in a short time thanks to the many hands at work. Morale was high, namely because we have recently returned from a very enjoyable visit to our friend Grace Voterro. 

Martha, being a merciful farmer, allowed us to assist in cleaning the barn after lunch instead of continuing the endless transplanting. Refrigerators were moved, floors were swept, and countless piles of pigeon excrement were removed. 
We also did some mild exploring of the hay loft. 
The farm opens for the season tomorrow so everything was made to look resectable. There is a large Pick-Your-Own Strawberries operation here which we hung up signs around town to advertise. If you live in or around the Sutton, MA area please stop by 96 Eight Lots Road any time between 8AM and 7 PM for good pickins and fine times.


We moved into a new trailer today, which is larger and more accommodating. We have space to store our massive backpacks, more comfortable beds, and room for entertaining.

Classy!

Until next time,
-B&D
