Weather it is May or not....

Yes weather in the title is intentional.  Last year at this time it was 80-85 degrees and lovely.  This year, 50-58, windy and wet.  The weeds however are loving it, if I do say so myself.  So for those of you local that are looking for something to pass the time and to come visit or to take out some aggression, please come on over and take out your aggressions on our weeds.  The harvest this coming week will be some more greens and not sure what else yet.
    We (the students and myself) did go out to Dalton Gardens, ID on Thursday to help shear alpacas because it was a downpour here.  I liked it so much, Emily and I went back that night to visit them and help.  We also picked up some manure for the gardens. I have to say coming from Detroit, I never imagined telling people I want their animal poop.  My, how things have changed and moved towards alot of poop (kids, animals, you get the idea.)
    Anyway, the couple was very nice and we discussed possibly getting two of our own which helps the garden.  The ROI is breaking even but provides us with manure for the garden so it actually puts us slightly ahead because I no longer have to try and source manure.  We would also be able to keep some of the fiber or fleece from the animal, which is super soft.
   So until next time when we will probably have our new child and possibly two alpacas....

Eat well, be kind, and smile more.
