Hopes of Spring
Spring is finally here on the farm, bringing hope and efflorescence. We’ve had record high rainfall this winter so the spring sunshine is greatly received. Life is starting to bloom again. The skylark heralds in spring with its melodic trill, welcoming the cows out of the shed and into the field.
We’ve been busy here in the veg patch, Quentin has been planting seedlings and we’ve recently planted a few seed potatoes to be enjoyed in late August/September. Wildflowers are blooming, including Lesser Celandine and Lady’s Smock. Daffodils have painted the fields yellow and the whiff of wild garlic lingers in the air.
