Comfrey was blooming yesterday as well as feverfew which is early for us. It has been very dry and warm comparing to other years so it seems nature is a bit a headed; my spinach already bolting. With that in mind Saturday will 30's (3C) Saturday morning. I have several tomato plants up over a foot tall so might need to start the poly tunnel heater Sat morning to keep them happy. Cover crop of cereal rye, hairy vetch, triticale and red clover is coming along nicely. Will terminate in about two weeks to plant corn and pole beans. My thought is that the clover will remain as a living mulch.

Earth Day 2026 is Wednesday, April 22. The theme for this year is, “Our Power, Our Planet.” How does Earth Day impact you; what are you doing special? Is Earth Day a Special Day?

UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that topsoil is being lost 10–40 times faster than it is being replaced. Did that number land differently because you were already thinking about your own yard?
