Cold weather in the forecast. We spent most of yesterday and today mulching the strawberries with straw. We had a big crew: Meg and Jim, Carlos and Erin, Neil, Matthew, David, Heather and Paul, Phillip, our new guests, Chris and his 7 year old Noah, and even a little help from our “competitors” from Coneflower Farm, Dennis and Ellen. And Tutuk and Louise provided snacks. We worked in sun, wind, rain, snow and sleet, got tired, but all in all had a good time. I figure we got 7 or 8 miles of strawberry rows covered, but haven’t finished yet. We might get snowed out tomorrow, but that will be OK, because the snow would serve as insulation from the cold Wednesday night.
