Temps went over 60 today and Lily and I took advantage of the strange weather to uncover all the high tunnel beds, tear out spent crops (careful to save green plants for the chickens), seed new crops, and water. What a wonderful way to spend the last day of the year. Lillian put her new reading and writing skills to good use making markers for the new crops. We planted claytonia, Italian dandelion, radishes, carrots, kale, mache, bunching onions, onions, and shallots. We also harvested carrots by the handful, radishes, spinach, kale, and beets. The high tunnel was a glorious 72 degrees and it was wonderful to work together and get dirty. We tossed some of our carrots into the pot of corned beef and cabbage and knew it was the end of and start of a good year.
