Another Season Begins

Three weeks of wet weather has delayed planting in the field.  It's been wonderful for the cover crops creating more biomass and thereby more organic matter in the soil.
Looking out over peas and oats, further on winter rye and a tarp covering the soil to smother weeds. 
Have been busy seeding and starting plants since February.  A few weeks ago this is what the germination racks looked like.
One of the racks that provides warmth, timed-lighting no predators and special care to give crops a great start.
After four years, asparagus sprouts.
