March kicked my ass emotionally. Almost buried me. I’m still here.
Spent the whole day at my farm.
My. Farm.
Seeded 3 types of spinach, 4 ty of tomatoes, 4 ty of cucumbers, 4 ty of peppers, 2 ty eggplant, scallions, a whole tray of tulsi basil and 29 types of flowers.

I caught up with Spring in the daffodil bed.
Shout out to @Marycharlton8 and @BAMF_WIC —we did this, y’all.

I twisted fellow @Arcadia alum Steve’s arm (verbally from 6’ away) to take some home to his wife. He’s my beekeeping mentor and always hesitates when I foist flowers on him because “that’s your crop, Jenn.”
Watching him cut his own bouquet made my heart explode.

I “observed” while Farmer Kenny mowed and disked (sp?) the winter cover crop. Bye bye oat—here come the beds. Tractor work comes w/ the lease.
Oh! Wait—I forgot the dahlias!
I potted the dahlias in nifty, hand crafted biodegradable pots. Thanks, Mary! Truth? I’d forgotten about them and they arrived yesterday.
SURPRISE BIRTHDAY DAHLIAS FTW!

Seems magical, right? Wait. I seeded a whole tray just for my unofficial farm hand Paul to take home to his wife in a few weeks. Ten types of flowers. “Jennie, we have three steps and that’s maybe six pots and—“
That’s fine. Share w/ the neighbors.
EVERYONE NEEDS FLOWERS PAUL.

And then?
[I’m laughing—it’s possible I’m delirious]
Then I played ding dong daffodil all the way home!
Just left bouquets on friends porches, texted them and drove away.
Because I could.
Yes I was wearing latex gloves.

March is over. April is here. The world is a mess—but the farm needs to be tended. I’ll be there, if you need me.
Sowing crops, mending my fissures.
I can. I will. I am.
