March 11, 2013: How Exciting!!! As of Saturday we have started planting crops in the fields! Saturday we planted Peas, and today we planted Sweet Corn, Potatoes, Spinach, and Spring Onions! Spring is in the air!!!
Once we plant the seeds in the rows, we cover them with plastic to keep them safe from the weather, and warm enough to grow! Once the weather gets nicer we cute the plastic off.
