Utterback Farms

Happy Easter everyone!

Dave is off to deliver basil (large and small containers) to all 3 HyVe stores in Columbia, as well as sweet marjoram, chives, rosemary and dill to Rockbridge HyVee! Come and get some herbs! Meanwhile back at the farm, have deconstructed trough 4 in House 1, have pumped trough 2 and 3 out (unless it refills with rainwater today), have started digging post holes in House 4, in order to separate House 1 and 4, so we can demolish House 1......little sad....and a lot more work that I had planned on.....

Oh my, had no idea how much work deconstructing House 1 would be so hard, seems harder than when we constructed it......hmm of course that was 9 years younger....

Okay, we are gearing up for Spri ng! Will be starting on cleaning up the ruined House 1, and cleaning up House 4 so we can start repairing that! Hopefully will be picking out and planting more basil and dill, excited to get on with things!

Well, walked to mailbox to get mail and felt like I was auditioning for the "Flying Nun" show! Okay, how many of you are old enough to remember that show?

Well...not only has it been very COLD, but the sewer has been stopped up since Saturday evening, have tried working on it ourselves, but finally today we have REAL plumbers here, pray this works....I NEED A SHOWER AND A TOILET VERY BADLY!

More snow in the forecast, imagine that....

Delivered basil, (both small and large containers) to Rockbridge and Conley Rd stores yesterday, as well as some Rosemary, chives and mint!! Trying to get geared back up for spring. It has been a loooong winter!

Hmm, wind is getting up.....and it is still snowing....tomorrow morning should be interesting....

Due to this heavy snowfall, House 1 and house 5 are completely down, praying that house 2,3 and 4 will remain standing!

We are gearing up for winter growing. We are planning our microgreens, which microgreens do you recommend? What would go well on your table?!

Wish us luck with this severe thunderstorm coming our way, 60-70 mph winds....

Another 40 lbs of basil ready for Dave to deliver in the morning for Sun Farms!....we seem to be getting a little faster at this....thank goodness....
