We've had rather a different winter from what we normally have, as most of you probably have. Since it is February here in southern MO, I usually start thinking about getting the early spring field work done and the first of the market garden crops in. I usually plant some potatoes under plastic a little later in the month so we can have new potatoes before anyone else at the farmers markets. I've tried to have the soil in our garden beds tilled and set up by the middle of March as it usually starts raining here later in March and then it gets tough to get things done without making a mess.
This year looks much different. I'm hauling compost out to the gardens when the soil is frozen, but otherwise I can't do anything. Even if the snow were melted and the soil thawed, it would be nothing but mud, mud, mud. I'm beginning to wonder about how we're going to get things in on time!
On a side note, this winter is the first winter we had our sheep bred to lamb in January. Lots of people around here do, but I've always wanted to hold off until March. Well, things have gone much better than I would have expected. Despite the cold, the little buggers have been holding up quite well.
