Red Rover, Red Rover
Let the virus be over

Hello!

Did you every play Red Rover in grade school? or is my age showing? Fun to reflect.

What’s with this weather? So windy and cold. It bites for business. Sad sales for Mother’s Day business. All Greenhouses are closed up. People can go in them, but I can’t sell the sizzle. Always something new to learn, good for the brain.

On my last newsletter did you enjoy the photo of my bedding plants in one of the Greenhouses? I have excellent elves to showcase my farm. What a gift I have with everyone, so helpful. People just fall into my lap to help.

We have all the Cold Crops planted for the first go around. We plant again a lot of Vegetables and Lettuce. Potatoes are only planted one time. Also, onions, except scallions, they are repeated often.

We are pulling Strawberry Rhubarb (never cut it) for Sale. I now have Local Grown Fresh Asparagus, it’s so excellent. Had some Friday for supper.

The Jammer is doing Jam, Rhubarb, Grape, Peach, Raspberry Peach and Blueberry.

I have honey now from my Farm. I have the Bees, but I’m not the Beekeeper. Sugar Bush Maple Syrup from Waconia is gathered but not bottled.

There is over 200 sign-ups on my Instagram. It is so great people follow me. The photos are fabulous. I did a video of how to cut up seed potatoes. Also, a Happy Mother’s Day video. The new elf who does the Instagram is excellent. She took these photos below.
