Just when I thought it was safe to head outside the weather turned very, very bad. Those of you further north in the US felt it even worse (and our friends in the UK just endured a hellish few months). In fact, as I persevered through the 40 degree F/40 mph windstorm, I received a message from my landscape architect friend who wrote, “I drove by your place this afternoon and wondered how much you were paying that poor sucker to work in your garden today, and then I realized it was you.” But persevere I did and made some really good progress.
I hope you will write a book in the not-too-distant future. You do have a way of turning a phrase that makes me smile, and nod sympathetically.
We have clay here too, on top of the glacial till. I've been amending it for years with manure and my own compost. Last year's discovery was "Sea compost". We shall see indeed.
You are too kind. One of the main reasons we created this newsletter (besides staying in touch with friends!) was to document changes on the property and in our own lives. Laura’s work with genealogy has taught us that, years down the road, family members are desperate for any scrap of information about their ancestors. We figure this will give them more than they can handle.
