LanTerra Update - planting day. Happy Pumpkinating Day..
Plenty of good Easter news.

Completed the French drain before the Midwest tornado outbreak of thunderstorms ran trough town last week. The rains came with thunder but the patch stayed wet and this time did not flood.

So we have everything going and growing so well. Heaters been in the hoop houses for more than a week and the spring mustard has germinated. The 14 day weather forecast is amazingly nice.

April 10th the Crews and Sproule seedlings hit the dirt. With highs in the seventies all week it’s show time. Planted with WOW and Azos watered compost tea supplemented with IBA and Kelp then set the heaters and fans to maximum grow and crossed my arthritic fingers. As I slowly lumbered away I though about loosing these plants to frost in this silly false summer event. Mother Mature’s Mysterious weather swings at this time of year gives my early planting date a fear factor that is definitely pushing the envelope.
