I stopped and bought a bunch of stuff for the orchard and garden on my way home from town this afternoon.

I've already got my hoops for tunnels in place. They get covered with heavy duty Remay garden cloth. For the next few weeks the hoop covered Remay will also be covered with 4-mil clear plastic.

Before dark, I hope to be putting in cabbage and lettuce plants, along with some onion sets. The potatoes have been cut and are basking in sulphur for a few days. I'll also be putting in some fresh new raspberry plants. The asparagus bed will get a few bucketfuls of composted manure.

I need to spread "spring mix" deer/turkey seed on one more 1/4-acre wildlife plot that I plowed last fall,and leveled/raked last week.

Snow is forecast for tonight, so I better get back to work.

However, I might get distracted. The crappie have been voracious lately in the late afternoons.

Happy spring everyone!
