Rock & Roll Farm

Guter Laden hier.

This is the sign out in front of the farm. It is a color adaptation of the logo. Check the farm photos section for photos of some other signs I painted for the farm.

In other news, I’m getting a snake and learning German. Not in that order.

Oh, and in general the farm is going okay. It has sort of been raining, a little. We got a new worker this week, Eileen, who is really diving in head first. It’s nice to have another set of hands, especially such hard working ones. We’re catching up but still not out of the woods.

More corn and potato planting this week. Also we transplanted some brassicas into the field and finished planting the greenhouses to tomatoes. The procedure on tomatoes is kind of extensive and smelly. Dig a hole with the post-hole digger, add a quart of guano, a handfull of chileated minerals, throw some dirt back in, gently slip in the plant, and top it off with two quarts of diluted seaweed um, goop. Yeah. Smelly. I had no idea that guano could be from birds and not just bats. This guano was easily identifiable as being from birds due to all the feathers. For some reason that made it grosser to me. That’s right, grosser.

Stay tuned for a new feature later this week called, “Hoes I’ve Known.”
