Farmwife's Journal - April 11th

After baking bread, teaching school, and doing house chores, we headed out to remove the sap buckets and pull all the taps from the trees.  Once the buckets were collected, we rinsed them out and set them in the sun to dry.  There are some more to wash tomorrow, along with the taps, but the bulk of it is done.

The season of "remembering to water" has begun again.  First it started with the plants in the cold frame, then the plants started from seed and under lights, and soon it will be the gardens and flowers.  Watering is a huge responsiblity!  All the time, energy, and money that has gone into the care of plants can be lost if watering is forgotten about! :)
