First Seedlings of theYear

We got another email from Tera! Exciting news because she has another WWOOFer at the farm right now who's helping her get things started. This WWOOFer, Carley, got there about a week ago and Tera said they've been having a great time. They will get the first seedlings of the season started so that when we get there, we can jump right in. When the farm was running to full capacity, they would start seedlings right after christmas, to get a head start and make the earliest dent in the market that they could. What is also exciting is that Tera said a lot of the seedlings end up getting composted, so Dave and I will be able to send home presents to all our gardening friends.

What's so exciting for me is that growing is going to be our jobs! Meaning, no challenge will be too hard. I've been wanting to grown lavender for a long time now, but the germination period is so long it makes this task very difficult. But this Tera's help and the professional equipment we'll have access to, I'll be able to grow lavender all around the yurt.

Its nerve-wracking that we only have about 5 weeks to go and our apartment is still mess. Next week we're having a psuedo-estate sale, but its really just our friends coming over and taking what they want out of the stuff we can't take. We bought 4 18-gallon bins and our going to limit ourselves to these bins for personal items that we're bringing. I already filled one with my sewing machine and various craft stuff. The good things is that clothes, books and records are not included in this. We're trying to find a trailer to tow our things in, but they're expensive! We're looking for something in the $100-$200 range and they're out there, just hard to find. If anyone sees one, let us know!!!

Until then, peace and love, and I leave you with this
