And boy, do we!  We smell like dirt plus some.

We used that Margaret Atwood quote right about this time last year, and we’ll probably be saying it to ourselves again come June 2012.  Our farmers market season started a few weeks ago.  Our CSA starts next week! And the story all spring long has been rain rain rain. So in between thunderstorms, we scramble and sweat to get as many beds tilled, as many seedlings planted, as much compost spread, and as many rows weeded as we possibly can.  It’s kind of hard to believe Eric, Shannon, Tim, and Ali, along with James, Josh, Troy, and Matt, are still standing.

We have lots of fun plans in mind for this space this season: more interviews, more (and better organized) recipes, a monthly cookbook giveaway.

But for now, there are tomatoes to stake.  And chard to pick.  And lettuce to wash.  And two trucks to load. So I’ll let the pictures do the talking, and we’ll see you here again soon!

(One small piece of business: the CSA starts next week, so if you or a friend has been thinking about joining – you’ve still got time! Sign up here.)
