Is it spring yet? How about now? Now?

We are busily preparing for the 2018 season! Lots of new flower varieties will be trialed this year. Most of the produce selections are familiar varieties, with a few newcomers mixed in. The duck barn is being prepared for a late spring batch of Silver Appleyard ducklings and Pioneer goslings. Larger compost bins are being constructed, as the concrete-block two-bin proved too small. The bee yard held up well this winter and will only need minor repairs.
