Garlic Planting Time

Well, now's the time to beat cheeks and get the garlic in before it gets too cold for the little buggers to sprout. We've had some delays to work around -- our renter not getting his corn picked until yesterday, tractor issues and, um...farmer issues (lazi- er, procrastinatory practices).

Should be a pretty good week to do it. Only a little rain in the forecast, and if we can get the beds prepped before then, we (me) can certainly plant garlic in the rain.

Oh yeah, and don't forget to remind me. I need to buy straw this year. Tks.

I am the News

"I", meaning the farm. Yesterday I was interviewed via telephonic speaking device by a reporter from The Capital Times (Madison). We talked about the farm and why I'm so cool ("I" again meaning the farm) and selling in Madison and this upcoming farmer-chef dealy I'm attending that's conducted by REAP.

Anyway, it forced me to recall this other interview I did with a reporter from The Country Today, which is a regional (WI/MN) ag newspaper. I happened to find it on a website that I wouldn't normally imagine anything having to do with me would ever appear. And you can read all about it here.

Something.

I had to post SOMETHING, just so any of you out there (SFX: CRICKETS) who may actually check in from time to time to read this blog will keep coming back.

Soon you will see pictures of my new (really old) Farmall Cub cultivating tractor. Hoorah!

Busy with things unrelated to the farm lately. Too boring to write about. More farm info soon. Promise. F'real, yo.
