The time is here. The CSA is kicking off! The Weather. Right now, we cannot ask for better weather. It is warm, but not too warm during the day. At night it is cool, but not cold. Just want we need. The forecast for the next 10 days is similar. We can grow crops with days and nights like this....

While the weather is warmer than below record freezing temperatures, it is still cold. It was below freezing last night and it is supposed to drop to 31 tonight. Ironically, this is almost comforting news as anything that cannot survive a below freezing temperature is already dead.

It is April 19, we are well into spring and it is snowing. It is supposed to dip down to 27 degrees tonight and again tomorrow. The temperature could well end up lower than that. The heater in the greenhouse is having fits; every night the pilot lighht goes out and the temperature drops. It is hard to explain the impact that 27 degrees in the latter half of April has on farming, but it is devastating.
