March 30, 2005 - Rhubarb!

Filed under: Crops - All, Crops - Trees, Crops - Vegetables — highhopesgardens @ 11:07 pm

Looks like the rhubarb is ready to take off:

It’s a low energy day. I’m fighting a cold and don’t have the usual get up and go. So we vacuumed under all the couches, pruned some of the windbreak trees to a single leader. Here’s a before photo:

Here’s an after photo showing a single leader. This will prevent a crotch low on the tree and a future weak spot and place for rot and wind to snap it off.

Also had a kind gift of a goat stanchion today - fetched it between thunderstorms and it was ready to go except for building a feeding tray on it. So when Paullina births, we’ll be ready to go!

This evening was a Wholesome Harvest board meeting. It’s always an exciting and challenging time to be part of a start-up company.
