Slow start to growing season

The spring first was hot and dry, followed by three very cold nights in a row. The recent rain has bulked up the grass for the cows. They are out on pasture day and night, coming in only for milking. Justin spread 40 tons of finished compost on the pasture the cows just grazed. This will give the pasture a good nutrient boost before the heifers graze there this summer. Stephen and the horses spread compost on the garden this morning. Carin worked all morning hoeing baby chard and kale. The pressure tank for the farm well rusted out yesterday morning. Kerry bought a new tank and the system is now up and running.
